Check the live forecast above before driving up, as conditions change fast on Mount Donna Buang. This 1250-metre peak in the Yarra Ranges is Melbourne’s closest snow-play destination, but its weather is often wet, windy and unpredictable even when the city is mild.
What is the weather like on Mount Donna Buang today?
The mountain sits about 90 kilometres east of Melbourne, so its weather is cooler and wetter than the city. Rain is common year-round, and in winter you can expect above-zero temperatures with occasional snowfalls. The live forecast above shows current conditions, but note that fog and low cloud can reduce visibility to near zero on the summit road. Snow usually falls between June and August, though it rarely settles deep.
Is there snow at Mt Donna Buang today?
For a live answer, check the mount donna buang snow cam via the Parks Victoria website. Natural snow is unreliable – only a few days each winter bring decent cover. The mount donna buang snow season typically runs from June to August, but the mountain often relies on patches rather than a full blanket. If you want certainty, call the Yarra Ranges visitor centre before heading up.
Where is Mount Donna Buang?
It is in the Yarra Ranges National Park, about 90 kilometres east of Melbourne. The drive takes roughly 1.5 hours from the city via Warburton. The summit road is sealed but narrow and winding, so check conditions before you go.
Can I check the Mt Donna Buang weather 14 days ahead?
Long-range forecasts are unreliable for this mountain due to its localised microclimate. The live forecast above gives the best short-term outlook. For a 14-day trend, use the Bureau of Meteorology’s regional forecast for the Yarra Ranges, but treat it as a guide only.
Is there a Mt Donna Buang snow report today live?
Yes – the Parks Victoria website hosts a webcam at the summit. The mount donna buang snow cam updates every few minutes during daylight. For a written report, check the BOM’s observations at the nearest station (Warburton or Lake Mountain).
