July 2026 was one of the coolest and most unsettled Julys in Victoria since 2013

While the mean temperature in July was 0.4 degrees below the 1991-2020 average, it was still 0.6 degrees warmer than the 1961-90 average (before Victoria saw any significant impacts from climate change).

Our natural AC: thanks to a nice sea breeze, the temperature at the Victoria Harbour weather station has ranged between 12 C and 14 C today.

I know some people like the summer heat, but personally I love these cool, sunny summer days. I also feel very grateful to be in Victoria when I see the crazy temperatures that many other places around the world have been experiencing this summer.
