The live forecast above shows Ballarat’s next seven days, with cool to mild temperatures and a mix of sun and showers typical of late autumn. Expect daytime highs around 13–16°C and overnight lows near 4–8°C, with the chance of frost developing by mid-week.
What’s driving this week’s weather pattern?
A slow-moving trough over western Victoria is pushing cool, moist air across the central highlands. This will bring scattered showers on Tuesday and Wednesday, before a high-pressure system clears conditions from Thursday. Winds will be light to moderate, shifting from south-westerly to north-easterly by the weekend.
How cold will it get overnight?
Minimums are dropping to 4–6°C in the city centre, with lower-lying suburbs likely to see frost from Wednesday morning. If you are checking the Australia weather hub for broader trends, note that Ballarat’s elevation means it often runs 2–3°C cooler than Melbourne. The weather in ballarat tomorrow is expected to reach only 13°C, with a 60% chance of a light shower.
Will the weekend be any better?
Yes. A ridge of high pressure should bring mostly sunny skies from Friday through Sunday. Daytime temperatures will lift to around 16°C, but mornings will remain crisp. For those planning ahead, the ballarat weather 14 day forecast suggests a similar pattern, with no major heat or storms expected.

Is there any chance of severe weather?
No. This system is typical for autumn in central Victoria. Frost is the main concern from Wednesday morning. Check the severe weather warning page for any late changes.
