What weather should I pack for in Melbourne?
Use a forecast for your dates and exact destination, not only a country’s seasonal average. Check heat, rain, wind and any warnings shortly before leaving. Pack layers, sun/rain protection and any essential medicines in hand luggage subject to local rules. A climate average is background, not a forecast for your trip.
