The region's average elevation exceeds 1,000 metres above sea level, and this altitude results in moderate summer temperatures (rarely over 32 °C). The winters are cold with occasional snowfalls. Winter temperature can get to as low as -10 °C in some regions during frosty mornings.

The Northern Tablelands is a high rainfall region with averages ranging from 650 mm on the western slopes to over 1,200 mm on the east of the range. About 60% of this rainfall occurs during the summer months.

If you are considering rural properties for sale NSW because you want to get into the agriculture business, the Northern Tablelands region is renowned from its livestock farming.
