Check the live forecast above for Buxton’s current temperature and today’s high and low. As a town in the Yarra Ranges, its weather is typically cooler and wetter than the melbourne weather you may be used to, so plan for sudden showers and lower daytime peaks.
What is Buxton’s typical weather pattern?
Buxton sits at roughly 400 m elevation, which gives it a cooler, more humid climate than the nearby lowlands. Summer highs average 24–28 °C, but overnight lows often drop into the low teens. Winter brings frequent rain and morning frost, with daytime maxima around 10–14 °C. Rainfall is spread across the year, though autumn and winter are the wettest periods, often exceeding 100 mm per month.
How does Buxton compare to Melbourne?
While Melbourne’s weather is influenced by Port Phillip Bay, Buxton’s inland position means it is generally 3–6 °C cooler and receives about 50 % more annual rainfall. The town also experiences more foggy mornings and a higher chance of frost in winter, making it a noticeably cooler destination even when the city is mild.
What is the best time to visit Buxton?
Late spring (November) and early autumn (March) offer the most reliable weather: mild days, lower rain probability, and clear skies. Summer can be pleasant but occasional storms and high humidity occur; winter is wet and cold.
Does it snow in Buxton?
Light snowfalls occur on the surrounding peaks a few times each winter, but Buxton itself rarely sees settling snow. The nearby Lake Mountain resort gets reliable snow and is about 30 minutes’ drive away.
How accurate are long‑range forecasts for Buxton?
Mountainous terrain makes localised forecasting tricky beyond 3–4 days. The 10‑day forecast gives a general trend, but day‑to‑day conditions can shift quickly. Check the live forecast above for the most up‑to‑date information.
