What to expect from the weather

Melbourne in late October is known for its mild spring weather, but it’s also famous for its unpredictable conditions. Delegates attending RIMPA Live 2025 can generally expect daytime temperatures ranging from 15°C to 22°C (59°F to 72°F), with cooler evenings around 10°C (50°F).

Spring in Melbourne often brings a mix of sunshine and occasional showers, so it’s a good idea to pack layers, including a light jacket or coat, and an umbrella just in case. Comfortable shoes are also recommended, especially if you plan to explore the city’s parks, laneways, or waterfront.

Be prepared for Melbourne’s “four seasons in one day” reputation and you’ll enjoy your visit, no matter the weather!
