Geelong is experiencing a delightful autumn day today, with clear blue skies stretching across the Corio Bay. The temperature sits at a comfortable 18°C (64°F), perfect for enjoying the outdoors without the intensity of summer heat or winter chill.

A gentle southerly breeze at 10-15 km/h brings fresh air from Bass Strait, carrying the distinct saltwater scent that residents of this coastal city know so well. The breeze rustles through the changing leaves of deciduous trees that line Eastern Park and the Botanic Gardens, creating a soothing soundtrack to the day.

The morning began with a light mist that quickly dissipated as the sun rose higher, revealing stunning visibility across the bay. From the waterfront, you can clearly see the You Yangs standing majestically in the distance, their distinctive granite peaks catching the sunlight.

The Bureau of Meteorology predicts these conditions will hold throughout the day, with only a slight chance (10%) of a brief shower in the late afternoon. The UV index remains moderate, so sun protection is still recommended for those spending extended time outdoors.

Local beaches along the Bellarine Peninsula are relatively calm, with small waves making for peaceful beachcombing conditions. The water temperature remains warm enough for the dedicated swimmers who brave the autumn sea.

As the day progresses toward evening, we can expect temperatures to fall to around 12°C (54°F), with a clear night ahead providing excellent stargazing opportunities for astronomy enthusiasts.
