Everyone in Melbourne loves(?) discussing the weather, and the recent cold snap sure is generating a lot of discussion! But to add to the conversation, we should also be recognizing that the traditional 4 seasons model is out dated and inadequate in capturing the more “unique” Melbourne weather seasons, and that a more accurate model is readily available.

“Tempestuous weather” is my favourite description!
