Why do forecasts differ between the BOM and other apps?
The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) uses high-resolution models and local observations. Private apps often rely on global models that update less frequently. Always check the BOM Weather Australia page for the official source.
How accurate is a 14-day forecast for Sydney?
Forecast skill drops significantly beyond 7 days. For Sydney, the 14-day outlook shows broad trends (warmer or cooler) rather than exact daily weather. Use the sydney weather forecast 14 days tool as a guide, then confirm with the 7-day view.
What should I do if a severe weather warning is issued?
Check the Severe Weather Warning page immediately. Follow advice from emergency services, avoid flooded roads, and stay indoors if thunderstorms with damaging winds are forecast.
