‘Winter is coming ... eventually' but June forecast to be dry and mild

Melburnians can leave their umbrellas at home this June with a dry and mild start to winter, the Bureau of Meteorology says.

Some sunny winter days ahead in Melbourne.

The bureau's forecast is based on current weather patterns, although for the next fortnight Victorians can expect the clear skies and sunny days to be accompanied by crisp mornings.

Senior forecaster Keris Arndt said the days are expected to average 16 to 17 degrees, with cool and light winds.

“Rug up though with cold mornings expected, dropping down to 5 degrees overnight,” Mr Arndt said.
