Insulation Installers Canberra

Canberra’s climate, classified as an oceanic climate in the Köppen-Geiger system, showcases distinct seasonal variations. In the warmest month, January, average highs reach around 29°C, while the coldest month, July, sees average highs drop to approximately 12°C. Canberra experiences common frost during the winter months, although snow is a rarity in the CBD due to its location on the leeward (eastern) side of the dividing range. Surrounding areas, on the other hand, receive annual snowfall, often revealing a snow-capped Brindabella Range that can be seen from the CBD.

In July 2023, Tuggeranong experienced its highest-ever winter mean daily maximum temperature, alongside setting a record for the highest winter mean temperature. This is likely due to climate change, specifically the ‘global boiling‘ the Earth is experiencing.

Canberra’s weather can be influenced by warm, dry winds, particularly during winter and spring, resulting in abnormal warm maximum temperatures relative to its altitude. The city has recorded extremes like a scorching 44.0°C in January 2020 and a frigid -10.0°C in July 1971, along with infrequent light snowfall (Bureau of Meteorology). Autumn offers mild days and cool nights, while spring brings fresh mornings and brisk nights, with average temperatures ranging from 6°C to 19°C.

Canberra enjoys approximately 100 clear days each year and experiences relatively low annual rainfall, with most rain occurring in late spring. Thunderstorms are more prevalent between October and April due to the influence of summer and the surrounding mountains.
