It often seems like Melbourne is dry during much of the week, with rain always coming along to ruin your weekend, so Weatherzone decided to crunch the stats to determine whether weekends really are wetter in Melbourne, or whether that's an urban myth. The results? Well, there's good news and there's bad news.
