ClimateThe area has a temperate oceanic climate (Cfb) in a cold rainforest zone, with mild to warm summers and cold, wet winters. Although high summer to mid autumn is relatively dry, springs are characterised by frequent and severe thunderstorms. Sleet and graupel are very common occurrences throughout the year (at times even in early summer) and snow often falls heavily in the winter and spring months. Low, heavy cloud dominates the winter skies. Seasonal range is especially great about the maximum temperatures, from 26 °C (79 °F) in January to just 7 °C (45 °F) in July. Climate data are sourced from an altitude of 981 metres (3,219 ft) at Hunters Hill across the border into Victoria, operating since 1993.[3]
