Don't be caught without your brolly this evening as showers, and possibly hail and thunderstorms, head towards the city.

Melbourne was hit with a short downpour about 3.30pm on Monday, and there is more to come later on Monday evening and into Tuesday morning.

"There will be some short-lived showers," Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Keris Arndt said.

"There's still a risk of thunderstorms and some hail."
