A slow-moving trough is bringing patchy rain and possible storms to eastern New South Wales and Queensland today, while a high pressure belt delivers a clear, calm run for most southern capitals — as reflected in the live conditions above.
What is the weather like in Australia today?
Today’s weather pattern is typical of late summer: a trough over the eastern seaboard triggers scattered showers for Sydney, the Gold Coast and Brisbane, with the best chance of rain this afternoon. For Perth, Melbourne, Adelaide and Hobart, high pressure keeps skies mostly sunny and winds light. The interior bakes under a hot, dry northerly flow, with temperatures climbing into the low 40s in parts of Western Australia. Darwin remains humid with isolated afternoon thunderstorms. Check the weather radar to track approaching showers.
How should I plan my day?
If you’re in the eastern rain zone, pack a light jacket and umbrella — the wet weather won’t last all day, but it could be heavy in spots. UV levels are high to extreme across most of the country, so sun protection is essential even on overcast days. Southern capitals are ideal for outdoor plans; northern and inland travellers should stay hydrated and seek shade during the midday heat. For a detailed outlook, see the weather forecast Australia page.
Will it rain in Sydney today?
Showers are likely from late morning through the afternoon, most frequent near the coast. Accumulations should stay below 10 mm. Check the weather today page for hourly updates.
What is the weather today in Perth?
Perth enjoys a sunny, warm day with a top of 29°C and a light sea breeze. No rain is expected — perfect beach weather. For the latest, see BOM weather Australia data.
How accurate are today’s forecasts?
Short-range forecasts (0–48 hours) are very reliable, typically within 1–2°C for temperature and 80–90% correct on rain timing. The weather radar gives the best real-time confidence.
