Field notes
Melbourne's weather is the local joke — it can range 15°C in a single day from morning to evening. Summer (Dec–Feb) hits 25°C with occasional 40°C heat-spikes. Winter (Jun–Aug) is mild rather than cold (10-12°C) but feels colder because heating is uneven.
Cost of living in Melbourne: ~$3,050/mo
Mid-tier monthly across rent, food, transport, utilities, and coworking.
