Not sure if it's already done here. Very bland, but not terrible. C-  |

Its a of a climate... I've played footy ( real footy AFL ) there back in the day. Gale force winds and pissng rain. Gippsland has a rather unique climate in Australia that doesn't really show up in stats/data. There is a pronounced foen/rain shadow effect from the Australian Alps to the North and West, so rainfall can be sporadic...excepT the district is susceptible to the ECL phenomenah roaring in outta the Bass Strait, producing gale force winds and torrential rains in Autumn, Winter and Spring. Summers on average are typical of Southern Coastal Australia.....often mild with the inland Northerlies pushing in every so often with mid 40c temps and extreme bushfire danger.
Sale is your quintessential example of a Gippsland climate

B-. Generally decent but too cool/wet in summer, and not wet enough in winter.

D. Summer looks nice, but winter is way too mild.

C–
Harmless, but boring as sin due to being dominated by foehn winds. One of the worst climates in Victoria.

Melbourne is windward though, correct? Absolutely NOT. Can't you tell by its absurdly low winter-spring precip and idiotically warm max temps? |

I thought the warmish max temps were due to the ocean moderation. Its rainfall seems pretty uniform to me with more rain in late winter/early spring? If anything, I thought Melbourne was its own ballgame with its own weird climate "genetics". |

i'm not a fan of heat, but something about the stickiness of subtropical climates enchants me...

Good temperatures, a bit drier than my ideal. It looks like an average climate in Victoria but I like how the summers are a bit cooler than Melbourne. I think it's a B.

If anything, I thought Melbourne was its own ballgame with its own weird climate "genetics". At that latitude in AU, it should be a very prominent winter precip peak on the upwind—anything else is indicative of a downwind location. See: Warrnambool, VIC for a typical upwind precip pattern at 38° S (jointly with temperatures). "Ocean moderation" actually makes it cooler if anything. Our cold fronts are entirely of maritime origin, and aren't remotely akin to the land-based cold snaps which characterise the NH. They're literally hyper maritime to ultra maritime storm systems that have strayed from their usual tracks (50°–55° S generally), as opposed to originating at the pole. |

And I hadn't realize that a climate like Warrnambool exists in Victoria. I thought the Victorian south coast is filled with areas having winters akin to Melbourne's and Sale's, with 'anemic' winter rainfall. Interesting stuff. Now I'm guessing things gets a bit upwind-y in Victoria from around Ballarat...? |

The Southern coast of Victoria is your quintessential shit changeable climate. New Years Eve at Lorne is where we used to go to back in the day for party central.... never knew one year to the next whether you needed arctic gear or shorts and singlets.
Some years on the beach, I think 1977 and 1978 we had near 40c days....either side of those days were sub 20c !

Now I'm guessing things gets a bit upwind-y in Victoria from around Ballarat...? Such climates as Warrnambool actually cover a much larger area of VIC, than Melbourne/Sale type climates. As a general rule, anywhere north or west of Kilmore Gap is on the prevailing upwind. |
