Check the live forecast above before heading out in Yarralumla this morning; conditions around Lake Burley Griffin can shift quickly as inland Canberra heats up or cools down.
What can you expect from Yarralumla’s weather today?
Yarralumla sits on the western shore of Lake Burley Griffin, just south of central Canberra. The live forecast above gives the immediate outlook, but typically the suburb sees crisp mornings and a sharp afternoon rise in temperature during summer, while winter brings frosty starts and clear, cold days. Wind from the Brindabella Ranges can funnel across the lake, so keep an eye on gusts if you’re near the water.
How does the lake influence Yarralumla’s conditions?
Lake Burley Griffin acts as a local heat sink, moderating overnight lows and occasionally creating patchy fog in autumn. During heatwaves, the lake provides a slight cooling effect for waterfront properties, though inland Canberra still pushes temperatures above 40 °C on extreme days. Rainfall is fairly evenly spread across the year, with late spring often the wettest period.
What time does the sun set in Yarralumla today?
Sunset times vary through the year, but you can check the live forecast above for today’s exact time. In mid‑summer the sun sets around 8:20 pm AEST; in mid‑winter it drops by 5 pm. The lake catches the last light beautifully.
Is there a severe weather warning for Yarralumla?
Check the live forecast above for any active warnings. Yarralumla is not in a tropical cyclone zone, but severe thunderstorms with large hail occur several times a year. The Bureau of Meteorology issues warnings well ahead of damaging winds or flash‑flood risk.
What is the UV index expected to be?
The UV index in Yarralumla can exceed 11 on a clear summer day, so sun protection is needed between 10 am and 4 pm. In winter the index rarely climbs above 3. The live forecast above includes the current UV reading.
