The Blue Mountains are generally great to visit at any time of year. Many travellers enjoy the warmer months from November to February, even though these months can see high rainfall.

Any time is a good time to visit the Blue Mountains as the weather is pleasant throughout the year, with temperatures rarely climbing above 30°C.

Evening temperatures often drop to low single digits in autumn, winter and spring, so it’s a good idea to have a variety of clothing layers on hand.

Most people visit the Blue Mountains to explore the great outdoors, so during the day, it’s recommended to pack activewear, like a suitable pair of walking or hiking shoes, a hat, and a rain jacket. Most people find that quick-dry clothes are good for walking through the nature reserve.

Smart casual is suitable for most of the restaurants in the Blue Mountains.

Temperatures are pleasant throughout the year and rarely climb above 30°C. They can drop close to 0°C, so warm clothes are essential, even if you are visiting in the summer months and you should bring a warm layer for the evenings.
