The national outlook points to a settled week across most capitals, though a trough is bringing isolated showers to the eastern seaboard. Check the live conditions above for your city’s current temperature and wind speed.
What is the weather forecast for Australia this week?
A high-pressure system over the Bight is keeping skies mostly clear for Adelaide, Perth and Melbourne, with light winds and daytime highs in the low-to-mid 20s. For Sydney and Brisbane, a coastal trough is generating patchy rain and a possible afternoon storm, particularly on the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast. The weather forecast sunshine coast shows a 60% chance of a shower today. Further south, the weather forecast melbourne is dry and cool, while weather forecast adelaide remains fine. If you are planning ahead, the sydney weather forecast 14 days suggests a return to mostly sunny conditions by mid-week.
How should travellers prepare for these conditions?
If you are in the eastern capitals, pack a light rain jacket and an umbrella for the next 24–48 hours. Elsewhere, sunscreen and a hat are essential. For a detailed look at today’s conditions, see our Weather Today page, or track incoming systems on the Weather Radar. The Bureau’s data underpins all official BOM Weather Australia information we use.
Will the rain affect my holiday on the Gold Coast this weekend?
Showers should ease by Friday, with a mix of sun and clouds over the weekend. The trough is moving north, so expect clearing conditions from Saturday afternoon.
Is it worth checking the 14-day forecast for Sydney before booking?
Yes. While long-range forecasts carry some uncertainty, the sydney weather forecast 14 days shows a stable high-pressure pattern forming next week, ideal for outdoor plans.
Where can I find the most reliable weather forecast for Melbourne?
We recommend the Bureau of Meteorology and our Australia weather hub for hourly updates. For tomorrow’s outlook, see Weather Tomorrow Australia.
