What is the typical weather pattern for Chelsea?

Chelsea, located in Melbourne’s south-eastern bayside suburbs, experiences a temperate maritime climate with mild winters and warm summers. The suburb sits near Port Phillip Bay, which moderates extremes but can bring afternoon sea breezes and occasional coastal cloud.

• Summer (Dec–Feb): average highs around 25–27°C, with occasional hot days above 35°C when northerly winds arrive.
• Winter (Jun–Aug): daytime highs near 14–15°C; overnight lows drop to 6–8°C, with frost rare but possible on clear mornings.
• Spring and autumn are transitional: expect variable conditions, with the chance of cooler changes from the south-west.
• Rainfall is evenly spread across the year — October tends to be the wettest month, while January is often driest.

Should I check the Chelsea weather radar or hourly forecast?

For immediate planning, the Australia weather hub links to the live BOM radar for Chelsea Heights — that’s your best tool to spot showers moving in from the bay. The hourly forecast above on this page is more useful for timing walks, drives, or outdoor work.

• The BOM’s Bureau of Meteorology radar for Melbourne shows rain bands approaching from the west or south-west.
• For a 10-day outlook, Weatherzone provides detailed breakdowns of temperature and wind for Chelsea Victoria.
• Hourly forecasts are most reliable within 48 hours — beyond that, the 14-day trend gives a general pattern, not precise timing.
