| Official ETA, when the utility posts one | Independent estimated return window when trend data allows — often available first |
| Utility-reported status & customer counts | Confidence range + whether the outage is growing, stable, or restoring |
How the forecast works: we analyze how quickly customers are being restored, whether the outage is still growing, current weather, outage size, and similar past outages in this area. Every completed forecast is compared with when power actually returned. As of Aug 22, 8,694 completed outages have been graded this way — median error 1.7 hours across the most recent 600 of them (about 2.2 days), and we publish the misses. See the full record (how it works). Independent and unofficial: never the utility's commitment.

Common questions
When will my power be back on in Melbourne, FL?
It depends on the cause and how many crews are working. When's the Power Back? combines the live outage count, the current restoration rate, weather, and local history into an independent estimate for the Melbourne area — shown even before your utility posts an official restoration time. Check the live power outage status at the top of this page. For context from Melbourne's own record: across the 2 outages this site has tracked here, the typical (median) restoration ran an hour — the outage-history panel above lists them.
How do I check the power outage status in Melbourne, FL?
This page is a live power outage status check for the Melbourne area: current customers out, the affected areas on the map, and an independent restoration forecast when enough trend data is available, refreshed about every 15 minutes from utilities' own outage maps and the federal government's county outage data. To narrow it to your own street, search a Melbourne ZIP code — 32901, 32902, 32904, 32912, 32919, 32934, or any of the other 4 — and the map opens on that area. Your utility's own outage map remains the official word for your account.
How do I report a power outage in Melbourne, FL?
Report it to your electric utility — crews are dispatched from customer reports. Utilities tracked in Brevard County include Florida Power & Light; confirm your own provider, then use its outage line or website. Reporting a downed line helps crews find the fault faster. In a life-threatening emergency, call 911.
Does this page show Melbourne specifically, or the whole county?
Both, and for Melbourne we have the city-level view: Florida Power & Light has published outages for Melbourne under its own name, most recently seen on 2026-07-29. When Melbourne is affected, you get its own customers-out count and restoration time, with the Brevard County county-wide total shown separately as context. Don't add the two together — the county figure already includes Melbourne.
How accurate is the restoration estimate?
Every estimate is later graded against when the tracked outage was substantially restored (~90% of customers back), and the track record is published on our accuracy page. Estimates firm up a few hours into an outage once a steady restoration trend appears; very small outages are marked "too small to estimate" rather than guessed.
