Check the live conditions above before you head out – Australia’s weather is shifting today, with a trough bringing showers to the southeast and a heat trough developing across the interior. The Bureau of Meteorology has current observations and warnings for your capital city.

What’s the weather forecast for today and tomorrow?

For today, expect a mix of sun and cloud across most capitals. Sydney’s forecast shows a chance of a late shower, while Melbourne stays mostly dry with a cool southwesterly. Brisbane and the Gold Coast will be warm and humid – check the weather forecast tomorrow for a potential change. If you’re after a longer view, the sydney weather forecast 14 days hints at a drying trend next week. For weather forecast sunshine coast and weather forecast gold coast, expect similar humidity. Adelaide and weather forecast wa (Perth) will see afternoon sea breezes.

How reliable are extended forecasts like 14‑day outlooks?

Short‑term forecasts (1–3 days) from the BOM are highly accurate; beyond 7 days, confidence drops as weather systems evolve. The sydney weather forecast 14 days is useful for general trends, but always double‑check the weather today or tomorrow before making plans. For weather forecast melbourne, weather forecast brisbane and weather forecast adelaide, model consistency is good for the upcoming 3–5 days.

Where can I find the most accurate weather forecast?

The Bureau of Meteorology is Australia’s official source. For real‑time radar and severe alerts, check the weather radar and severe weather warning pages. Private services like Weatherzone also provide localised details.

How do I see the 7‑day outlook for my city?

Use the weather tomorrow page and scroll to the 7‑day table, or look at the live conditions above which update hourly. For capital cities like Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, the BOM’s official app gives the same data.

Should I trust 14‑day forecasts for planning?

14‑day forecasts are useful for general trends (e.g., cooler or wetter) but daily accuracy is limited after day 7. Always refer to the latest Australia weather hub for updates.
