If there’s one thing that you can always bet against doing what it says it’s going to do, it’s the weather in Melbourne. From the current cool temps sweeping the city to Christmas Day and Boxing Day forecasted to be scorchers, Melbourne weather is as temperamental as Gordon Ramsay. So take this forecast with a grain of salt, but it’s currently looking like New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day are set to be sunny and rain free. 

AccuWeather is predicting New Year’s Eve in Melbourne will reach highs of 27°C and will be mostly sunny throughout the day. At night the temp will gradually drop to 15°C and it’ll be cloudy. So if you’re planning to be outdoors come midnight, it might be wise to pack a jacket as it’ll be quite nippy.
