Check the live forecast above for your day in Orange before planning activities – the city’s 870-metre elevation on the Central Tablelands brings highly variable conditions, from frosty winter mornings to summer storms rolling in from the west.
What makes Orange’s weather unique?
Orange sits at 870 metres above sea level on the western slopes of the Great Dividing Range, giving it a cooler, more variable climate than nearby lowland centres like Bathurst. The city’s inland position means it misses coastal moderation, so winter nights frequently drop below freezing, while summer afternoons can reach the low 30s Celsius.

Does it snow in Orange?
Yes, Orange typically sees one or two snowfalls each winter, though heavy accumulations are rare. The city’s elevation and inland location make it one of the snowiest towns inland NSW, with flurries usually in July and August.
What is the best time to visit Orange for fine weather?
Late spring (November) and autumn (March–April) offer the most settled conditions, with mild days and clear skies. Summer can be hot with thunderstorms, while winter brings cold mornings and occasional frosts or light snow.
How reliable are long-range forecasts for Orange?
The Bureau of Meteorology provides reliable short-term forecasts, but beyond seven days uncertainty increases. The 14 day and 28 day outlooks, such as the weather orange 14 days chart, indicate trends rather than precise conditions. Always check the latest updates before travel.
