Penrith will see a mild, partly cloudy day with temperatures hovering near the figure shown in the live forecast above, before a cooler change arrives tonight. This inland western Sydney suburb often runs a few degrees warmer than the coast, so the afternoon breeze off the Blue Mountains should offer some relief.

What will the weather in Penrith be like for the rest of the week?

The live forecast above gives the outlook for the coming days. For the weather in Penrith tomorrow, expect similar conditions with a slight chance of a shower later in the afternoon. The penrith weather 7 day forecast shows a gradual warming trend through the middle of the week, then a cooler weekend as a trough passes through. If you’re chasing a deeper look, the penrith weather 14 days view on our Australia weather hub can help you plan ahead.

Why does Penrith often feel hotter than Sydney’s eastern suburbs?

Penrith sits on the western edge of the Cumberland Plain, well inland from the coast. Sea breezes that cool the CBD rarely reach this far west, especially in summer and early autumn. That’s why you’ll often see a 5–8 °C difference on the penrith weather hourly charts compared to Bondi. The penrith weather radar 128 km loop on the Bureau’s site is useful for tracking any storm cells building over the mountains.
