What drives the weather in Fairfield East?

Fairfield East sits on the Cumberland Plain, roughly 25 kilometres west of the Sydney CBD. This inland setting means summer days regularly climb above 30 °C, while winter mornings can dip below 5 °C.

North‑easterly sea breezes often reach the suburb by mid‑afternoon, slightly cooling the hottest part of the day. Rain falls mostly from late spring to autumn, with the occasional east‑coast low bringing heavy falls.
