Climate chart - Port Macquarie

Rainfall is abundant, amounting to about 1,500 millimeters (60 inches) per year, and varies greatly from year to year. Generally, there is a relatively dry period from July to October.

The city is located on the southeastern coast of Australia, in New South Wales, 300 km (185 mi) northeast of Sydney.

Port Macquarie

Winter, from June to August, is very mild, however, cold air can sometimes arrive from the south and lower the temperature, especially at night, when it can drop to about 0 °C (32 °F). The coldest record is -3.5 °C (25.7 °F) and was set in late May 2019.
On the other hand, in spring and summer there can be heatwaves from the desert, although they usually last for a short time (sometimes only a day or two), and in the evening, the breeze from the ocean lower the temperature again. From late September to late February, the records reach or exceed 38 °C (100.5 °F). In February 2017, the temperature even reached 46.6 °C (115.9 °F), although only for one day.
Generally, this area of New South Wales is not directly affected by tropical cyclones, which only affect the northern part of the state (see Byron Bay, Ballina), however, sometimes the remnants of a weakened cyclone can arrive here, bringing heavy rains. Cyclones typically form from mid-November to mid-May, but are more likely from January to March.
