Correction: that's 3 partly cloudy nights
This is exactly what the weather is like in places like Macquarie Island, the Shetlands, Faroe's, Falklands Scotland etc.
This is how I would sum up this climate:
Melbourne has a maritime (latin for toilet) climate, with short but warm summers and long, dull winters not unlike the British Isles. Winter gloom can last up to 5 months with very little sunshine and full clear days are very rare, perhaps only occuring once a month. Temperatures are low in winter and are compounded by often gusty winds from the south. IN summer, hot days are usually punctuated by up to a week of cool and sometimes cloudy weather and most days are accompanied by a cold and gusty afternoon seabreeze.
