How does Cheltenham’s location affect its weather?
Situated on Port Phillip Bay, Cheltenham often experiences a cooling sea breeze that arrives earlier than in inland suburbs. This can drop temperatures by several degrees in summer, but also brings higher humidity. The suburb’s flat terrain means fog can form quickly on calm winter mornings, clearing by mid-morning.
Is Cheltenham Vic the same as Cheltenham NSW?

Why does Cheltenham feel cooler than the city?
The bay breeze from Port Phillip often reaches Cheltenham before it reaches the CBD, dropping the temperature by 2–4°C on summer afternoons. This effect is strongest when winds blow from the south or south-west.
When is the best time to visit Cheltenham for fine weather?
Late summer (February to March) offers the most stable conditions, with warm days and lower rainfall. Spring can be windy, while winter brings the highest chance of rain and cool, grey skies.
