This is mainly due to Melbourne's geographical location. This temperature differential is most pronounced in the spring and summer months and can cause strong cold fronts to form.
When there is a major storm event, air from the ocean - which is often cooler - gets swept over land, where it can heat up more rapidly. This in turn creates strong wind gusts between the high and low pressure systems.
The city experiences little humidity in summer, except at the end of hot spells following thunderstorms and rain. Recorded extremes (From Melbourne Regional Office): Hottest temperature: 46.4 °C (115.5 °F), 7 February 2009.
The weather debate
Despite varying temperatures and public perception that Melbourne is worse for the weather, Sydney is the city that receives more rainfall – a total of 1223 mm on average while Melbourne receives less than half of that (603 mm).Further information

Melbourne summers are notable for occasional days of extreme heat, which have increased in frequency since 2005. This occurs when the synoptic pattern is conducive to the transportation of very hot air from central Australia over to the south-east corner of the continent.
Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Terry Ryan said the extra cloud over Melbourne was caused by a meteorological effect known as anti-cyclonic gloom. High-pressure systems in winter to the north and west of Melbourne created a blanket of warm air at a high altitude, which trapped moisture from Bass Strait.
Melbourne enjoys warm summers, glorious springs, mild autumns and crisp winters. With its variable climate, Melbourne hots up December to February (summer), cools down March to May (autumn), chills out June to August (winter), and warms up again September to November (spring).
Islam's holiest city is also the world's hottest city. Mecca, in Saudi Arabia, is the warmest inhabited place on earth. Its average annual temperature is 87.3 degrees Fahrenheit. In summer, temperatures can reach 122 degrees Fahrenheit.

3. Death Valley, the hottest place on Earth, has such high average temperatures that tourists regularly try to fry eggs on the ground. The highest temperature ever recorded by a weather station is 134.1 degrees Fahrenheit (54 degrees Celsius). This was measured on June 30, 2013, in Death Valley, California.
The Upper Midwest has the most unpredictable weather in the country, with Rapid City, South Dakota; Great Falls, Montana; and Houghton, Michigan, taking the top spots.
Why Is The Weather So Unpredictable? Meteorologists have the job of predicting changes in weather, but there are a lot of factors that affect weather: temperature, air pressure, cloud patterns, precipitation, and wind factors including its speed, direction, and moisture level.
The reason the weather changes so frequently is that rather large body of water just south of Houston. The warm gulf winds and the weather coming from the north collide just about along the Katy Freeway and explosions develop. Tornadoes are rare and when they come they are generally either F-0 of F-1's.
Marble Bar is a town and rock formation in the Pilbara region of north-western Western Australia. It is well known for its extremely hot weather, with a mean maximum temperature second only to Wyndham, Western Australia.
According to satellites Australia is hotter than California ever has been. According to people holding thermometers California is hotter than Australia ever has been.
Glen Innes was officially the coldest place in Australia today, with the Bureau of Meteorology registering a reading of minus 9.8 degrees at the Glen Innes airport this morning.
Port Macquarie has, according to the CSIRO, the best climate in Australia, with mild winters and gentle summers, and water warm enough to swim in for most of the year. Thousands of holidaymakers who flock here each summer to bask in the sunshine on a string of beautiful beaches agree.
Melbourne is a little cooler during summer and a lot colder during winter. Sydney - often tempered by a sea breeze - is more likely to be closer to that than Melbourne. And having lived for many years in both cities, I can assure you that Melbourne has a LOT hotter summer days than Sydney does.
The West Australian current is a Cold current and thus it decreases the temperature of the ocean. Australia is located in the Southern Hemisphere. In this hemisphere temperatures are extreme because here Summer season and Closeness to Sun occurs together. So, summers are hot.
Melbourne, as well as the whole of Australia, is generally a safe place to spend your holiday. The 80% rating proves that safety is at a high level and that tourists can enjoy their stay in this reasonably safe city. However, Melbourne, as any other big and populous city can be violent and have criminals.
The coldest months are June, July and August - a perfect time to explore up north. The wet season runs in much of the north of the country from November to April, whereas Townsville's (described as the Dry Tropics) has a wet season that is shorter, usually mid-December to end of March.
Melbourne has the most disgustingly coldest weather in Australia. Frosty days are very rare in Melbourne. We get around a dozen very hot days in summer,and I mean HOT, over 38c,I think Melbourne holds the record for the highest capital city temperature in Australia, around 47c, but high humidity days are very rare.

Now, all bushfires in the state have been extinguished. "For the first time since early July 2019, there is currently no active bush or grass fires in #NSW," tweeted New South Wales Rural Fire Service. "That's more than 240 days of fire activity for the state."
Climate change in Australia has been a critical issue since the beginning of the 21st century. In 2013, the CSIRO reported that Australia is becoming hotter, and that it will experience more extreme heat and longer fire seasons because of climate change.
Starting from September 2019, fires heavily impacted various regions of the state of New South Wales, such as the North Coast, Mid North Coast, the Hunter Region, the Hawkesbury and the Wollondilly in Sydney's far west, the Blue Mountains, Illawarra and the South Coast, Riverina and Snowy Mountains with more than 100
Its seasons are more defined than the northern parts, with summers being very hot, with average temperatures often exceeding 35 °C (95 °F), and winters relatively cool with average minimum temperatures dipping as low as 5 °C (41 °F), with a few frosty nights.
