Located in the south-eastern region of Australia, the Dandenong Ranges is a popular tourist spot in the state of Victoria. With the extensive majestic hilly ranges, the weather shows variability in climate and temperatures during different seasons.
Whilst the highest temperature can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius in summer (Dec-Feb), the temperature falls below zero during the colder months (June-Aug). Light to moderate snowfalls even occurs during extreme colder seasons.
Dandenong Ranges 7 Day & Tomorrow National Park Weather Forecast
The weather in summer fluctuates but showers are rare. However, the overall weather in the Dandenong Ranges is comparatively cooler than other cities and towns across Victoria, this is due to its height above sea level. However, the weather in summer can be very hot and visitors are reminded to check local bushfire warnings with Parks Victoria before entering any of the national parks. The weather in winter (June-Aug) can be rainy and cold, so bushwalking is not a popular activity during these months.
Visitors planning to visit the region should browse through the local weather reports to have an idea of the overall climate, with early spring and summer the best time to visit Mt Dandenong.

Is it a bad idea to come for a visit to the top of mount dandenong if it’s going to storm. Thankyou very kindly. Stace.
Hi Stacey,
Well, that depends. It could be very dangerous if you plan to be out and about, but if you are travelling up to the restaurant for dinner, I think you will be fine. But best to check the Bureau of Meteorology for the current radar conditions.
Best regards,

When will the steps be re-opened? (since the tree fall)
Hi Grace,
Parks Victoria confirmed that the track reopened today at lunchtime. The local rangers worked around the clock to clear a path through a 200 year old tree that fell over the pathway.
Have a great time at the 1000 Steps and Dandenong Ranges!
Kind regards,
Jess
Have you had snow in the last 24/48 hours in the Dandenong Ranges and do you expect more?
Hi Jaqui,
Yes there was a little snow in the Dandenong Ranges, however the weather forecast for the next 10 days only indicates cold and rainy weather. Will likely sit around 8-10 degrees.
Regards,
Jess
finding hard to trust your weather forecast………..35 degrees?
Can you please confirm the weather today and if it is going to be a suitable day to enjoy your course.
Thanks
Hi Shane,
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. There seems to have been an issue with the weather widget.
I have since fixed this and it is apparently going to reach a high of 24 degrees today in Belgrave.
Hope this helps and have a great day out there.
Thanks
Michael
