The live forecast above shows Leichhardt’s conditions right now, and it reflects the broader Sydney weather pattern you’d expect for a coastal inner-west suburb. Temperatures here tend to sit slightly warmer than the CBD because of the protection from the harbour breeze, but overnight can feel cooler near the Parramatta River corridor.
What’s driving today’s weather in Leichhardt?
Leichhardt sits about five kilometres west of the Sydney CBD, so the same east-coast troughs and sea breezes that shape Sydney weather affect this suburb. The live forecast above gives you the current temperature, humidity, and wind – handy for planning a walk around Leichhardt Marketplace or checking the leichhardt weather hourly trend. For a longer outlook, the leichhardt weather 14 day forecast is a solid guide, though local conditions can shift quickly when a southerly buster arrives.
How does the local geography influence the forecast?
Leichhardt’s position on the floodplain of Hawthorne Canal means fog and cooler pockets can form on calm winter mornings. In summer, afternoon thunderstorms are common, and the leichhardt weather radar is your best tool for tracking sudden showers. The bom weather leichhardt page provides official warnings, especially when heatwaves or severe storms are on the cards.
Does Leichhardt get as much rain as the Sydney CBD?
Yes, annual rainfall is similar – around 1,200 mm – but localised downpours from convective storms can drop more in the inner-west than on the coast, especially in summer.
What’s the best time of day to visit Leichhardt Marketplace?
Late morning or early afternoon, when the day has warmed and the chance of a stray shower is lowest. Check the hourly forecast from the live feed above to pick a dry slot.
Why is the Leichhardt forecast sometimes different from other Sydney suburbs?
Its valley position and distance from the coast can mean slightly higher daytime temperatures and cooler nights, plus fog lingers longer in winter compared to harbour-side suburbs.
