Warmer weather in sight for Melbourne MELBOURNE may have just said goodbye to its winter blues. The last week of August is shaping up to be a fine one, with the mercury expected to hover between 19C and 20C before hitting a balmy 21C on Sunday - the first day of spring. Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Terry Ryan said the northerly winds, which brought bitterly cold temperatures to Victoria throughout winter, were finally starting to warm up. "It's a big turning point," he said. A warm top of 19C is expected on Monday, along with patchy fog early in the morning, light winds and a partly cloudy outlook. The mercury is tipped to hit 20C on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Mr Ryan said showers expected from Tuesday to Friday shouldn't reduce the temperature too much. Winds of up to 30km/h are also expected to hit Melbourne, a breeze compared to the 100km/h winds experienced last week. Sunday is expected to kick off spring in ideal fashion, with sun and light wind forecast. But Mr Ryan said the end of winter didn't necessarily mean the end of Melbourne's cold weather for this year. "There's bound to be a cold outbreak between now and Christmas," he said. But it'll get warmer from now on.
