A polar ice cap climate with evenly-distributed precipitation (Köppen EFf) prevails at Scott Base.
 The base has fairly typical weather conditions for coastal Antarctica, with minimum temperatures around −45 °C (−49 °F) and summer maximum only occasionally above freezing point.
It is exposed to the full strength of southerly blizzards, although overall it is less windy than McMurdo Station.
The maximum wind velocities experienced have been gusts up to 185 kilometres per hour (115 mph) with steady velocities under blizzard conditions of 95–115 kilometres per hour (59–71 mph).
The highest recorded temperature was 6.8 °C (44.2 °F), the coolest −57 °C (−71 °F) and the mean temperature −19.6 °C (−3.3 °F).
