Live data from Open-Meteo · updates automatically ·
Australia’s weather today mixes a hot inland trough over the southeast with a coastal trough bringing cloud to the eastern seaboard, while a high pressure ridge keeps the west mostly fine. The live conditions above show current temperatures, rain and wind for each capital city.
What is the national weather pattern right now?
A slow-moving trough over NSW and Victoria is drawing humid air from the Coral Sea, triggering isolated showers and thunderstorms across the southeast. The eastern capitals—including weather Melbourne and weather Brisbane—are seeing partly cloudy skies with a moderate rain chance this afternoon. In contrast, weather Perth enjoys stable conditions under a broad high, while weather Adelaide catches the western edge of the trough, resulting in a warm, gusty day. The tropical north remains hot and humid, with scattered storms near Darwin.
What should travellers and residents watch for?
For weather Melbourne rain, the best chance of a shower comes after 3 pm as the trough deepens. Weather Melbourne BOM observations show a wind shift to the south later, which may drop temperatures quickly. Weather CBD (central business district) conditions across most capitals are mild, but UV levels are high—sun protection is advised. In South Australia, BOM SA weather indicates a possible evening thunderstorm near Adelaide, while the rest of the state stays dry. Fire danger is elevated in parts of inland Victoria and SA due to gusty northwesterly winds.
Where can I access official BOM forecasts for my city?
The Bureau of Meteorology provides the most up‑to‑date warnings and forecasts. Check BOM SA weather for South Australia, or BOM Weather Australia for national information. The live conditions above are sourced directly from BOM observation stations.
What is the typical weather difference between Melbourne and Adelaide in summer?
Adelaide often records higher daytime temperatures (mid‑30s) with dry heat, while Melbourne stays cooler (mid‑20s to low‑30s) but sees more afternoon sea‑breeze changes and a higher chance of evening rain or thunder due to its position near a trough line.
How accurate are the 7‑day forecasts for Australian capitals?
Bureau forecasts for days 1–3 have high accuracy (85‑90%), dropping to 60‑70% by day 7. For the best planning, combine the daily Weather Today page with the Weather Forecast Australia page and check the live radar for short‑term changes.
