If you are wondering what the weather will do tonight, the live forecast above gives the clearest picture for your location. Across the country, expect a generally mild evening with clear skies for most southern capitals, while humidity lingers in the north and a few coastal showers are possible.
What will the temperature drop to tonight in the major capitals?
According to the live forecast, most of the eastern capitals will see overnight lows in the low teens – comfortable for a walk but worth a light jacket if you are heading out. Sydney and Brisbane should stay a little warmer in the mid-teens, while Melbourne and Adelaide drop closer to single digits in the suburbs. Perth’s evening will be similarly cool, with the chance of a light breeze. For detailed outlooks, check our pages on weather in Melbourne 10 days and weather in Sydney 10 days.
Will any rain or wind affect your plans tonight?
Showers are possible along the Queensland coast and parts of northern NSW, so if you are in those areas the live forecast will show timing and intensity. Southern capitals remain mostly dry, though a gusty evening could develop along the coast near Perth. For a closer look at conditions where you are, see our weather Perth 14 days page or the Brisbane Weather hub.
Will it rain tonight in Melbourne?
Based on the live forecast above, Melbourne should stay dry tonight with mostly clear skies. The chance of any rain is very low, so you can leave the umbrella at home if you are heading out for the evening.
What’s the wind like tonight for coastal areas?
Coastal spots near Perth and parts of South Australia may see a moderate south-westerly breeze, while the eastern seaboard remains relatively calm. Check the live forecast for wind gusts specific to your beach or headland.
When does the temperature start to cool down this evening?
In most capitals the temperature will begin dropping noticeably after sunset, usually around 7–8 pm. The coolest part of the night is typically just before dawn, so layer up if you are out late.
