Check the live forecast above to see today’s conditions for Alphington, then plan your day around the chance of a shower or a warm afternoon. This suburb in Melbourne’s inner-north sits in a weather zone that can shift quickly, so the bureau’s radar is your best friend.
What is the weather typically like in Alphington?
Alphington shares the temperate climate of greater Melbourne, with mild winters, warm summers, and rainfall spread fairly evenly through the year. The most noticeable local factor is the proximity to the Yarra River and the Darebin Creek corridor, which can trap cooler air overnight and produce patchy fog in winter mornings. Summer afternoons often reach the high 20s or low 30s Celsius, while winter maxes hover around 14–15°C.
How does the BOM radar help track Alphington weather?
The Bureau of Meteorology’s radar at Laverton or Broadmeadows gives you a real-time view of rain bands moving across the northern suburbs. For Alphington, the key is watching for showers that develop over the Dividing Range and drift south during spring and autumn. The BOM radar is the most reliable tool to see if that drizzle will hit your street within the next hour.
Is Alphington weather different from the rest of Melbourne?
Not dramatically, but being about 7 km from the CBD means it’s slightly cooler than the city centre on summer nights. The river corridor can also make morning fog linger a little longer than in, say, Melbourne Weather zones further north.
Where can I find Alphington weather hourly updates?
Use the BOM’s MetEye tool or a third-party app that pulls from the same data. For alphington weather hourly breakdowns, the live forecast above refreshes regularly, and you can cross-check with the BOM radar for the next few hours.
Does Alphington get severe storms?
Yes, like most of Melbourne, it can see thunderstorms in spring and summer. The Yarra Valley can funnel storm cells, so always check Severe Weather Warning updates if a front is approaching. Nearby Eltham weather often sees similar conditions.
