Check the live forecast above for McCrae’s current conditions, then plan your day around the sea breeze that often picks up by mid-afternoon. This coastal village on the Mornington Peninsula enjoys a mild maritime climate, so a light jacket is handy even in summer.
What makes McCrae’s weather different from nearby towns?
McCrae sits on the western shore of Port Phillip Bay, giving it a slightly cooler and breezier feel than inner Melbourne weather. The bay moderates extremes, but afternoon sea breezes can drop temperatures by several degrees. Summer highs typically reach the mid-20s Celsius, while winter lows hover around 7–8°C. If you’re checking rosebud weather for comparison, McCrae is often a degree or two cooler due to its exposed foreshore position.
Where to find reliable McCrae weather data
For up-to-the-minute observations, the Melbourne weather page includes McCrae as part of its regional coverage. The mccrae weather radar is best viewed through the Bureau of Meteorology’s radar mosaic for the Port Phillip region, which picks up showers approaching from Bass Strait. For a detailed hour-by-hour picture, the mccrae weather hourly forecast on Weatherzone shows temperature, wind, and rain probabilities in three-hour blocks.
What is the best time to visit McCrae for pleasant weather?
Late summer (February–March) offers warm, settled days with sea breezes that keep the coast comfortable. Autumn sees fewer crowds and still-mild conditions, but always pack a windbreaker.
How does McCrae weather compare with nearby Rosebud?
Rosebud, only 5 km north-west, shares a very similar climate. McCrae can be slightly windier due to its more exposed position, while Rosebud’s bay beach often feels a little calmer.
Where can I see the McCrae weather radar?
The most reliable radar is the BOM’s “Melbourne (Broadmeadows) radar” composite, which includes the bay. For a localised view, check the mccrae weather bom page for station observations.
