Live forecasts update automatically; written guidance last reviewed 23 June 2026 by the Australia Focus Weather Desk. Data from the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) and other national met services via Open-Meteo.
With the live forecast above showing current conditions, Stanley’s weather is shaped by its coastal position at the base of The Nut – expect cool, showery westerlies in winter and mild, sea-breeze days in summer, with rainfall spread fairly evenly through the year.
What’s the weather like in Stanley today and tomorrow?
Stanley’s weather can change quickly as systems move across Bass Strait. The live forecast above gives the most accurate picture for the next few hours. For a broader view, check Stanley weather tomorrow and the Stanley weather hourly breakdown – both are reliable for planning a walk up The Nut or a visit to the seal colony.
Where can I find longer-range forecasts and radar for Stanley?
For a Stanley weather 14 day forecast, local rural services and the Bureau’s seven-day outlook give a solid trend. The Stanley weather radar (part of the BOM’s north-west Tasmanian network) is your best live tool for spotting incoming rain bands. Nearby Strahan weather often follows a similar pattern, though Strahan sits on the west coast and tends to be wetter.
Does Stanley get much wind?
Yes – being exposed to Bass Strait, afternoon sea breezes and winter westerlies are common. Wind speeds of 25–35 km/h are typical, especially around The Nut. Always check the live forecast above before heading out.
Is the weather in Stanley similar to Burnie or Smithton?
Broadly yes, but Stanley’s coastal position means it can be slightly cooler and windier than inland Smithton. Burnie, further east, receives more sunshine on average. All three share the same cool-temperate regime.
Can I get a reliable 14-day forecast for Stanley?
Long-range outlooks exist on sites like Weatherzone and Elders, but accuracy drops after about 7 days. Use the Stanley weather 14 day forecast as a trend guide, and rely on the live forecast above for day-to-day decisions.
