Weather in Melbourne in July
July in Melbourne is cool outdoor weather: usable if you dress for it, not a beach brief.
In Australia, this is how Melbourne actually wears July, not how a country centroid would. July is winter in the southern year. A northern summer packing list is the wrong brief for Melbourne. July is the cold side of the year in Melbourne. Pack for that, not for a leftover summer photo.

What to expect
Daytime
Cool days in Melbourne: a jumper you can take off, a shell in the bag. Walking is fine. Lingering outside without a layer is optimism.
Mornings and evenings are colder than the postcard. Pack for both, especially if you leave the built-up centre.
Rain
Mixed skies in Melbourne in July. Dry days and wet days share the month. Outdoor plans need a backup, not a cancellation policy.
Pack a shell you will actually carry. The monthly table is the place for totals. This is the feel: usable, interrupted.
Evening
Evenings are cooler. A layer helps after sunset.
What to pack
A layer for cooler evenings
