Forecast

Katoomba's weather is affected by its high altitude, which makes the air pressure lower than in coastal areas. This means the air is thinner and can't hold as much moisture.

The Blue Mountains, where Katoomba is located, create a rain shadow effect, blocking moist air from the east coast. This leads to lower air pressure and more rainfall.

In summer, the air pressure is higher, bringing hotter and drier air from the west. This leads to dry and sunny weather. In winter, the air pressure is lower, bringing cooler and wetter air from the east.

Katoomba has a humid subtropical climate, which means it has mild winters and warm summers. The air pressure changes with the seasons, making the weather more unpredictable.
