Crazy Melbourne Weather - what season is it?

Rain rain rain rain. I find this weather really annoying, it's the middle of February! Yesterday I was contemplating going to the beach when it reached 36 degrees in the afternoon, today I considered filling the house with dust by turning the ducted heating on when the highest temperature was about one third of that, 13 degrees! and did I mention the rain? it has trippled last month's (January) rainfall in just one day.

Made me feel like a complete idiot, following my parents specific instructions to water the pots every second day even if it rains, which I did yesterday evening. Now we'll probably see a few plants drown.
