Kyneton's elevated position in the Macedon Ranges brings cooler temperatures and more frequent winter fog and frost than lowland Victorian towns, conditions that can trap wood heater smoke close to the ground on calm nights. The surrounding mix of farmland and forest contributes both agricultural dust in drier periods and bushfire smoke risk in summer, when nearby bushland is most vulnerable. Its proximity to Melbourne has brought steady growth and increased traffic in recent years. Outside these seasonal pressures, the town's elevated, breezy setting generally supports good air quality.
