Check the live conditions above before you head out: a high-pressure system is keeping most of the country settled today, though a trough is bringing patchy rain to the southeast. Plan your day around the local UV and wind details while the sun holds.
What’s driving the weather across Australia?
A broad ridge of high pressure sits over the interior, giving clear skies to Adelaide, Perth and the gold coast. A weak trough in the east is producing isolated showers for Sydney and Brisbane, but nothing heavy. Melbourne and the sunshine coast will see a few afternoon clouds before clearing. The Weather Today page has the hourly breakdown for your city.
How will the next few days look?
The ridge will strengthen through the week, so expect dry, warm conditions for most capitals. The weather forecast sydney shows a mild Thursday with a high of 24°C, while weather forecast melbourne will stay near 23°C with a light south-easterly. Inland centres, including parts of weather forecast wa, will heat up above 30°C. For a longer view, see the Australia weather hub or check the sydney weather forecast 14 days on the radar page.
How accurate is a 7-day weather forecast?
Forecasts become less reliable beyond three days. The Bureau of Meteorology rates its 7-day outlook at about 70–80% accuracy for temperature and 50–60% for rain. Always check the Weather Tomorrow Australia page for the latest updates.
When does the next cold front arrive for the south?
A cold front is expected to brush Tasmania and southern Victoria late Saturday, bringing cooler air and a chance of showers. The weather forecast adelaide may see a dip to 20°C by Sunday. For warnings, visit Severe Weather Warning.
What does a ‘severe weather warning’ mean?
It means conditions are likely to produce dangerous weather – damaging winds, heavy rain or heatwaves. The Bureau issues them when there is a high risk to life or property. The weather forecast brisbane and weather forecast gold coast are currently warning-free.
