A 7-day weather map of Australia currently shows a persistent high‑pressure system across the interior, bringing mostly clear skies, while a trough in the southeast will trigger showers in NSW and Victoria mid‑week. Use the live radar above to track the rain bands.
What does a 7‑day synoptic chart tell you?
The synoptic chart displays pressure systems, fronts, and wind patterns forecast over the next week. In the coming days, the high will keep central and western Australia dry, but a low off Western Australia’s coast may deepen. For the east, a cold front crossing the Tasman Sea will keep the southeast unsettled into the weekend. For a closer look at your region, check our Adelaide Weather or Brisbane Weather pages.
How do I use the satellite weather map alongside the synoptic chart?
The satellite weather map Australia gives you real‑time cloud cover, while the 7‑day synoptic chart shows the predicted movement of pressure systems. Together they help you anticipate rain and wind changes. For the most accurate outlook, combine the live radar above with a 10 day synoptic chart Australia from the Bureau.
Where can I find a free 14‑day synoptic chart for Australia?
The Bureau of Meteorology offers free 7‑day charts; extended 14‑day outlooks are available from weatherzone.com.au and eldersweather.com.au. A 14 day synoptic chart australia free download is also accessible via the BOM’s archive page.
How accurate is the 7‑day forecast compared to a 10‑day outlook?
