With the live forecast above showing conditions for Drake, plan your day around the chance of a shower and the temperature range — this northern NSW spot can switch from mild to stormy quickly, especially in summer.
What’s the typical weather pattern in Drake?
Drake sits inland, north-west of Casino, so it has a subtropical climate with warm summers and cool, dry winters. Summer afternoons often reach the low 30s Celsius, while winter mornings can dip below 5°C. Rain is spread across the year, though the wettest months are usually December to March. If you’re also checking ballina weather or casino weather, expect the coast to be milder and more humid than Drake’s drier, more variable conditions.
