Bellingen’s weather today, as shown in the live forecast above, reflects the mild, humid conditions typical of this Coffs Harbour hinterland town. You can expect a mix of cloud and sun, with the chance of a shower or two later.

What’s driving the pattern this week?

A coastal trough brushing the Mid North Coast is feeding moisture inland, keeping Bellingen’s skies partly cloudy and raising the chance of light rain, especially during the afternoon. The live forecast above captures this well, so check its hourly breakdown if you’re planning outdoor time. For a longer view, the bellingen weather 14 day forecast suggests a return to drier, warmer conditions by the weekend as the trough drifts south. Meanwhile, nearby Dorrigo weather often runs slightly cooler and wetter due to elevation.

How does Bellingen’s climate shape your day?

Nestled in a river valley, Bellingen traps warmth and humidity, which is why mornings can feel muggy even when the coast is breezy. The bellingen weather 14 day forecast bom data indicates that summer afternoons regularly hit the low 30s Celsius, while winter nights dip to around 5°C. If you’re after a deeper look, the bellingen weather 30 day forecast can help you plan ahead, but for immediate rain-checking, the bellingen weather radar is your best bet—though local coverage can be patchy, so combine it with the BoM’s Grafton radar for better accuracy.

Is it safe to swim in the Bellinger River today?

Check the live forecast above for rain intensity, and look for any local water-quality warnings from council. After heavy rain, bacterial levels can rise, so avoid swimming for at least 24 hours after significant downpours.

How does Bellingen weather compare with Dorrigo?

Dorrigo sits 700 metres higher, so it’s typically 4–6°C cooler and receives more rain. If you’re driving up from Bellingen, the bellingen weather bom page won’t match Dorrigo’s conditions—check a dedicated Dorrigo weather forecast instead.

Where can I find the Bellingen 10 day forecast?

The weather in Bellingen 10 days ahead is available on the Bureau of Meteorology (bom.gov.au) and Australia Current’s Bellingen page – the live forecast above includes an extended view for the next week, and you can toggle to the 10-day outlook on the BoM site.
