The live forecast above shows the current conditions and short-term outlook for Murrurundi, a town in the Upper Hunter region of New South Wales, where the weather often mirrors the contrasting patterns of the surrounding Liverpool Range.
What drives Murrurundi’s weather?
Murrurundi sits in a valley at the base of the Liverpool Range, so its climate is shaped by elevation, inland position and the north–south alignment of the Great Dividing Range. Summer days can be hot and often produce afternoon thunderstorms, while winters bring crisp mornings, occasional frosts and clear, sunny days.
- Summer (Dec–Feb): average maxima around 29–32 °C, humidity moderate, thunderstorm risk from November to March.
- Winter (Jun–Aug): overnight lows frequently drop below 5 °C, frost common, daytime highs near 15–17 °C.
- Spring and autumn are transitional; September and October can be windy, and April often delivers the most settled conditions.
- Rainfall is spread fairly evenly through the year, with a slight peak in summer from convective storms and a secondary lift in winter from cold fronts.
Is the 14-day forecast reliable for Murrurundi?
A murrurundi weather 14 day forecast provides a useful trend guide, but accuracy falls sharply beyond day 7 because the region’s weather is influenced by inland heat troughs and east coast lows that are hard to pin down that far out. Check the live forecast above for the most reliable 3–5 day outlook, and use longer-range forecasts only for planning rough patterns.
How does Murrurundi weather compare with Scone weather?
Scone, about 30 km north-west, sits lower (220 m) and is typically 2–4 °C warmer. Murrurundi’s higher elevation means cooler nights and more frequent fog in winter. Both towns share similar rain patterns, but Murrurundi can get more orographic lift on southerly winds.
