This Victoria climate database draws from official climate records for 30 towns and cities.

All data is sourced from the Open-Meteo Historical Weather API under CC BY 4.0.
0.3 below the national average of 6.2
The comfort range in Victoria tells the story: Falls Creek scores 3.0 while Bairnsdale leads with 6.8. The statewide average is 5.9. That's close to the national average of 6.2, though individual cities vary widely.
That 3.8-point gap between the most and least comfortable cities shows how much local geography matters. Coastal cities average a comfort score of 6.4 compared to 5.9 inland, reflecting the moderating influence of the ocean on temperature extremes and humidity. Understanding these differences helps whether you're planning a move, a holiday, or just deciding when to visit.
