What is the typical spring weather for Pheasants Nest?
September to November sees daytime highs from 18 °C to 24 °C, with overnight lows between 6 °C and 12 °C. Rainfall averages 60–80 mm per month, often from afternoon thunderstorms. These conditions favour nesting for local bird species, including pheasants, as moderate temperatures and fresh growth provide shelter and food.
When is the best time to visit for mild weather?

Autumn is also the driest season, with rainfall dropping to 40–55 mm per month. For current forecasts, check the Sydney weather page, as Pheasants Nest is within the greater Sydney basin.
Does Pheasants Nest get frost?
Yes, frost is common in winter (June–August) when overnight lows can drop to 1–4 °C. The valley location traps cold air, so frosty mornings occur several times each winter.
How does the weather affect nesting birds?
Pheasants and other ground-nesting birds prefer the warm, dry spells of spring and autumn. Heavy rain or strong winds can delay breeding, while mild conditions with light breezes improve nest success.
Is there a severe weather risk?
Thunderstorms are most frequent from November to February, sometimes bringing heavy rain and hail. A severe weather warning may be issued for the Southern Highlands during summer storms.
