Richmond weather today is mild with a top around 22°C, according to the live forecast above. This inner Melbourne suburb sits 5 kilometres from the city centre, so its conditions closely track the broader Melbourne weather pattern, with cool mornings and afternoon sea breezes common in summer.
What is the typical weather pattern for Richmond?
Richmond experiences a temperate oceanic climate. Summers are warm but not extreme, with January averages around 26°C. Winters are cool and damp, with July highs near 14°C. The suburb lies in a rain shadow of the Otway Ranges, so annual rainfall is about 600 millimetres, lower than outer eastern suburbs. The Australia weather hub provides broader context for these patterns.
How does Richmond’s location affect its weather?
Being close to Port Phillip Bay, Richmond gets cooling afternoon breezes in summer. The Yarra River corridor can trap fog on winter mornings. The suburb’s flat terrain means no localised temperature variations, but the urban heat island effect can keep overnight temperatures 2–3°C warmer than surrounding rural areas.
