08Editor's notes
What the numbers don't tell you
June is winter, with afternoons around 14 °C, grey days and the Rising arts festival lighting up the city with installations and performances, plus the King's Birthday long weekend on the second Monday. It is cheap and quiet. The city's covered arcades, museums and coffee culture make the weather almost irrelevant. Rain falls on about ten days, as drizzle.
The Melbourne International Jazz Festival and the Winter Night Market at the Queen Victoria Market on Wednesday evenings fill the calendar. The ski season opens at Mount Buller on the long weekend. Daylight is around nine and a half hours at the solstice. For the coldest month and the winter school holidays, see July.
