What’s the weather like at Adelaide Airport right now?
The live forecast above updates directly from the Bureau of Meteorology’s observations at Adelaide Airport (YPAD). Located about 6 kilometres west of the city centre, the site is exposed to afternoon sea breezes off Gulf St Vincent, which can drop the temperature a few degrees compared to the CBD. Check the wind direction and speed before you travel — north-easterlies tend to bring warmer, drier air, while south-westerlies signal cooler conditions.
How to get hourly details for the airport?
For an adelaide airport weather hourly breakdown, the Bom Adelaide Airport page on the Bureau’s site offers metre‑by‑metre readings of temperature, dew‑point, wind gusts and rainfall. You can also use Adelaide Weather on Australia Current for a broader look at the metro area, but the airport’s own station is your best bet for precise departure‑gate conditions.
Does Adelaide Airport get foggy?
Yes, especially on calm winter mornings when moist air settles over the flat coastal plain. Fog can reduce visibility below 500 metres, sometimes delaying early flights. Check the live forecast above for visibility readings.
How are sea breezes different at the airport?
Unlike inland suburbs, Adelaide Airport feels the full force of the afternoon sea breeze from Gulf St Vincent. This can drop the temperature by 4–6 °C in summer and increase wind speed to 20–30 km/h.
Can I trust BOM’s airport observations?
Absolutely. The Bureau of Meteorology’s automated weather station at the airport is calibrated and maintained to aviation standards, making it one of the most reliable sources for real‑time conditions in South Australia.
