Melbourne\u2019s see-sawing summer is set to continue into the new year, as Monday\u2019s hot conditions give way to a cold New Year\u2019s Eve.<\/p>\n

Thousands of swimmers were attracted to Port Phillip Bay as the city reached a top of 33 degrees on Monday, but Tuesday is likely to be the last viable day for beach-goers in 2025 with a predicted top of 29 degrees.<\/p>\n

Temperatures will then plummet about10 degrees, with Wednesday forecast to reach a maximum of only 19 degrees in Melbourne, and record a low of 13 degrees.<\/p>\n

The minimum temperature would be marginally higher in the CBD at the time of the midnight fireworks, about 14 degrees, the Bureau of Meteorology\u2019s Daniel Sherwin-Simpson said.<\/p>\n

The Mornington Peninsula and Geelong were forecast to be even cooler on New Year\u2019s Eve, with lows potentially down to 11 degrees at midnight, the meteorologist said.<\/p>\n

\u201cGenerally, Melbourne is going to stay a little bit more mild in the evening,\u201d Sherwin-Simpson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat being said, though, we will be in a southerly airstream with winds probably in [the] 20km\/h to 30km\/h mark, so there might be a little bit of wind chill coming off the bay with that.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the CBD itself, we\u2019re not expecting a hugely chilly night. But personally, if I was going over [to the city], I\u2019d still be bringing a jumper, at least.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some cloud cover on New Year\u2019s Eve was not expected to ruin the visibility of the fireworks display, and New Year\u2019s Day was forecast to be mild across the state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Melbourne\u2019s see-sawing summer is set to continue into the new year, as Monday\u2019s hot conditions give way to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":377755,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,41,39,42,40],"class_list":{"0":"post-377754","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/377754","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=377754"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/377754\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/377755"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=377754"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=377754"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=377754"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
