This inner southeast Melbourne suburb sits 12 kilometres from the city centre, and its climate is shaped by local bay breezes and passing fronts.

What’s the typical weather pattern for Ormond?
Ormond has a moderate maritime climate with warm summers and cool winters. Summer highs usually sit around 25–27°C, but a sea breeze often keeps the afternoon comfortable. In winter, temperatures rarely drop below 6°C, and rain falls on roughly half the days. The area sees its heaviest rainfall in spring and early winter, with October often the wettest month.
How do local features affect Ormond’s weather?
Being close to Port Phillip Bay, Ormond gets a steady afternoon sea breeze that can cool things down quickly, even on hot days. The nearby Elster Creek catchment also means localised flooding can happen after heavy rain. For real-time tracking, the Ormond weather radar shows incoming showers, while the Ormond weather hourly view helps you plan through the day.
Frequently asked questions
Does Ormond get heavy storms in summer?
Yes, but not every day. Thunderstorms develop when hot inland air meets the bay breeze, usually in late afternoon. Most storms pass quickly, but localised heavy rain is possible. Check the Ormond weather today page for thunder risk.
Is Ormond windier than other Melbourne suburbs?
It can be. The open corridor near the bay funnels southerly winds, especially from November to March. Wind speeds average 15–25 km/h on most afternoons, but gusty days are more common in spring.
Where can I find the most accurate forecast for Ormond?
The Bureau of Meteorology provides the official forecast for Ormond. For detailed hourly breakdowns and local observations, Weatherzone and Elders Weather also pull from the same BOM data.
