What to do today
A long day at the MCG
A Melbourne Cricket Ground visit can mean a match, another event or a tour. A long sporting day may span several different UV readings. Include the walk through the surrounding precinct and any time before the start.
The whole ground is not one seat
The forecast covers the MCG area. It does not show shelter from a stand, direct sun at your row or the conditions during an indoor tour section. Use venue seating information for the seat itself rather than reading the forecast as a shade map.
Changing weather during the event
A cool start is not a measurement of UV, and the forecast can change over the hours of a visit. Compare your expected arrival and departure rather than looking only at the start time. The official MCG site covers current event arrangements.
Sun protection tips for Melbourne Cricket Ground
- Keep a hat and sunglasses with you for exposed seating and the approach.
- Bring covering clothing and sunscreen for a longer outdoor day.
- Plan breaks out of direct sun where available without assuming a covered row describes every part of the outing.
