What is the typical weather pattern for Barrack Heights?

Its climate mirrors that of Wollongong weather: warm, humid summers with average highs of 25–27°C and mild, drier winters where daytime temperatures hover around 16–18°C. Coastal cloud and afternoon sea breezes are common in summer, while autumn and spring offer the most settled conditions.

Because Barrack Heights is slightly elevated and close to the escarpment, it can be a degree or two cooler than central Wollongong and less humid than Kiama weather closer to the coast.
