What to expectVictoria through the year

Victoria changes little through the year. Average daily highs stay between 26 and 28 °C, so no month stands out as a season in the way it would further from the equator.

Counted across a normal year, 356 days a year reach 25 °C, 0 of them reach 30 °C. The warmest reading in the 1991–2020 record is 30 °C, in April.

Rain is strongly seasonal. January averages 218 mm against 51 mm in July — 4.3 times as much. Planning around the dry months matters more here than planning around temperature.

The sea off Victoria is warmest in April at 30 °C and coldest in August at 26 °C. Sea temperature lags the air by a month or two, which is why late summer swims warmer than early summer at the same air temperature.
