The climate of Victoria (Australia)
Victoria is the area below New South Wales in the most southern part
of Australia. This state is the most densely populated area in
Australia. The metropolis of Melbourne is located in this area. This
area has a very diverse landscape. On the coast of the Great Pacific
you can take the Great Ocean Road and enjoy the overwhelming coastal
landscape. Many cliffs can be seen as well as the 12 Apostles, a high
rock formation in the ocean. The Victorian Alps make for a fine skiing
area. During the winter more than enough snow falls in this high
mountain range. The banks of the river Murray are very green.
Everywhere in this state national parks with unique vegetation and
animal life can be found. In addition many lovely villages and
charming cities can be visited. They were founded when the gold fever
had its peak. The higher regions have a mountain climate which is
accompanied by snow. Especially on the coast summers are pleasant. The
sea is around 20 degrees on average as well. Winters are mild with
temperatures not below 6 degrees on average. Subzero temperatures are
rare.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
