The live forecast above shows Robertson’s current conditions and the 7-day outlook. Expect a cool, misty morning with a high near 18°C, typical for this Southern Highlands town at 750 metres elevation.
What is the typical weather pattern for Robertson?
Robertson sits on the Illawarra escarpment, so it catches moist easterly winds. This creates frequent drizzle, fog, and an average annual rainfall of around 1,600 millimetres — one of the highest in NSW. Summer highs rarely exceed 25°C, while winter mornings often drop to 2–5°C with frost.
How does Robertson weather compare to nearby towns?
Robertson is cooler and wetter than Sydney weather (30 km east) and Wollongong weather (25 km east), which sit at sea level. It’s similar to Bowral weather (15 km west), though Bowral is slightly drier due to its leeward position. For real-time tracking, check the robertson weather radar on the Bureau of Meteorology site — it shows rain bands moving in from the coast.
Why is Robertson so foggy?
Moist air from the Tasman Sea rises up the escarpment and cools, condensing into fog. This happens most often in autumn and winter, when overnight temperatures drop and winds are light.
What is the best time to visit Robertson for clear skies?
Late summer (February–March) offers the lowest chance of fog and the warmest days, with highs around 23°C. Winter is coldest but can have crisp, sunny afternoons after morning fog lifts.
Does Robertson get snow?
Light snow flurries occur once or twice a decade, usually in July or August. The town’s elevation is just below the typical snow line, so accumulation is rare and melts quickly.
