How to use the long‑range and radar tools

For immediate changes, the eltham weather radar from the Bureau of Meteorology shows rain bands moving in from the west. Bookmark the eltham weather bom page for official warnings and synoptic charts.
Does Eltham get severe storms?
Yes, like much of Melbourne’s outer east. Thunderstorms can develop in spring and summer, sometimes with hail or damaging wind. Check the severe weather warning page before heading out during a storm watch.
When is the best time to visit Eltham?
Late summer to early autumn (February–April) offers stable warmth without extreme heat. Autumn colours in the Yarra Valley are also a draw. Winter is cooler and wetter but fine for indoor markets and cafes.
