What makes Sheffield’s weather distinct?
The town’s inland position and proximity to the Bass Strait mean prevailing westerlies bring frequent cloud and rainfall, especially in winter. Summer maxima average around 21°C, while winter nights often drop to 2°C, with frost common. The sheffield weather radar tas from the BOM is useful for tracking showers moving in from the north-west.
