July is the second wettest month of the year with an average rainfall of 47.9mm and approximately half of the days of the month wet, windy and cold.
The sun sneaks out on average for a full 3.5hrs during the day doing its best to dry up some of the wet.
The weather in the month of July is cold, very cold... brrr makes me shiver just thinking about it!
The Average Temperatures for the weather in July are:
High 13.4°Celsius(56.12°F) – Low 5.9°Celsius(42.62°F)
There is a smokey haze over the city, the open fires are burning busily and the smells of sizzling sausages lingers in the air as families take to the hills on a weekend to enjoy the brisk mountain air.
A favorite pastime during winter's Melbourne weather in July is a daytrip up into the Dandenongs to feed the beautiful Australian native birds.
The King Parrot is an Australian Native bird found in humid and heavily forested upland regions of the eastern portion of the continent, including eucalyptus wooded areas in and directly adjacent to subtropical and temperate rainforest.
This poster forms part of the Australian Native Bird Series that I am putting together.
Why not gather the series as they would make for beautiful gifts or framed as part of your home or office decor.
The Melbourne Ski Season is in full swing with the alps covered with snow.
The Melbourne weather in July is perfect for excellent snow falls in the high mountain ranges and they are all well within a few hours drive from central Melbourne.
If you are into snow skiing etc then head on up to Mt Buller or Mt Buffalo only several hours from Melbourne central.
Enjoy the best of the Australian snow season at Victoria's picturesque Lake Mountain. The closest snow resort to Melbourne, you can enjoy the snow, explore waterfalls and visit a Chocolaterie all in the same day. Wildlife Tours Australia's Lake Mountain one-day tour will take you on a full day adventure to see some of the best sights in Victoria.
The day will begin with a three-hour stay atop Lake Mountain. You can line up for a toboggan race, build the perfect snowman or walk to the mountain summit for amazing views of the surrounding area. Even though three hours may seem a short time, it is more than enough to fully experience and enjoy the fresh powder that falls on Lake Mountain.
Following your trip to the snow, you'll travel to Marysville to explore its giant, cascading waterfalls. Home to Steavenson Falls, one of the tallest waterfalls in all of Victoria, you'll be in awe as the rushing water moves down 5 cascades and falls a total of 122 metres. While in the Marysville area you'll be given the chance to embark on a nature walk along the river for beautiful views of the region and of the large waterfall.
As the day begins to conclude, you'll move towards your final and most delicious stop on the agenda. Passing through the aromatic Yarra Valley, you'll make a stop at the famous Yarra Valley Chocolaterie and Ice-creamery for some delicious free samples. While you taste the local creations, you'll be able to watch the chocolatiers at work, mixing and creating the chocolate that you are sampling, which will make it taste all the more better.
