The live forecast above shows today’s conditions for Chifley, a coastal suburb in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, where the weather is largely shaped by sea breezes and the nearby Tasman Sea.
What is the typical weather pattern in Chifley?
Chifley enjoys a mild, temperate climate with warm summers and cool winters, moderated by its proximity to the coast. Afternoon sea breezes are common in warmer months, often dropping temperatures by a few degrees compared to inland suburbs.
- Summer (December–February): Average highs around 26°C, with occasional humid days and afternoon storms.
- Winter (June–August): Daytime highs near 17°C, with cool nights and less rainfall than summer.
- Rainfall is spread fairly evenly, though autumn and early winter can be slightly drier.
- Strong easterly winds can develop during coastal troughs, especially in spring and early summer.
How does Chifley’s weather compare to nearby suburbs?
Being only a couple of kilometres inland from Maroubra Beach, Chifley is slightly less windy and a touch warmer than coastal suburbs like Malabar or Maroubra. Compared to western Sydney, it’s noticeably cooler in summer due to the sea breeze.
- Summer maximums are typically 3–5°C lower than in Penrith or Parramatta.
- Fog is rare; morning cloud from the coast often clears by mid-morning.
- Chifley receives less frost than inland parts of the city during winter.
What is the best time of year to visit Chifley?
Late summer and early autumn (February to April) offer warm, settled weather with fewer storms and comfortable sea breezes. The water is also at its warmest for beachgoers.
Does Chifley get much fog?
Fog is uncommon. Morning coastal cloud can occur in winter, but it usually burns off by late morning. Dense fog is rare due to the suburb’s elevation and proximity to the ocean.
How reliable are the sea breezes in Chifley?
Sea breezes develop on most summer afternoons, typically arriving around midday and strengthening into the evening. They are less consistent in winter when inland heating is weaker.
