Nimbin’s weather is shaped by its subtropical valley setting, with warm, humid summers and mild, wet winters. The live forecast above shows today’s conditions, but understanding the seasonal pattern helps plan your visit or daily activities.
What drives Nimbin’s weather?
Nimbin sits in the Northern Rivers region, nestled between the Richmond Range and the coast. This valley position means it often receives more rainfall than nearby Byron Bay, as moist air rises over the hills. Summers (December to February) bring afternoon storms and high humidity, while winters (June to August) are cooler with persistent drizzle. The area’s lush rainforest is a testament to its reliable rainfall.

Best times to visit based on weather
For lower humidity and clearer skies, aim for late winter to early spring (August to September). During this period, average daily temperatures range from 10°C to 25°C, making it comfortable for exploring the town and surrounds. Summer can be hot and sticky, but the storms often pass quickly.
Does Nimbin get fog?
Yes, particularly on winter mornings when cold air settles in the valley. Fog usually clears by mid-morning, revealing a sunny day. It’s a common feature of the local microclimate.
Where can I find the Nimbin weather radar and longer forecasts?
The Bureau of Meteorology’s Grafton radar provides the most reliable view of approaching rain for Nimbin. For a 7-day, 10-day, or 14-day forecast, check the live forecast above or Elders Weather for extended outlooks.
How does Nimbin weather compare to Brisbane?
Nimbin is slightly cooler and rainier than Brisbane due to its inland valley location. Brisbane weather tends to be more coastal and a degree or two warmer on average, but both share a subtropical storm pattern in summer.
