Australia’s weather today is a study in contrasts: a cool, cloudy south-east, a hot and dry interior, and a humid north. The live conditions above show the immediate picture, but the broader pattern reflects a slow-moving inland trough drawing moisture into the east coast, while a high-pressure system keeps the south-west settled.
What’s driving today’s weather across the capitals?
A trough lingering over New South Wales is feeding cloud and patchy rain into Sydney and Canberra, while Melbourne sits under a drier south-westerly flow with a brisk afternoon change. Brisbane is warm and mostly fine, though isolated showers may develop near the coast later. Adelaide, Perth and Hobart are enjoying stable, sunny conditions thanks to the high-pressure belt, while Darwin remains steamy with the typical build-up of late-season storms.
When will the rain clear for the east coast?
The trough responsible for weather melbourne and Sydney’s cloud will shift offshore by Thursday evening, leaving a cooler, showery weekend for the south-east. For those checking weather melbourne rain, the heaviest falls are likely overnight Wednesday. Meanwhile, weather brisbane remains on the edge of a moist easterly flow, keeping a slight chance of drizzle into Friday.
FAQ
Why is the weather so different between Perth and Sydney today?
Perth sits under a stable high-pressure ridge, bringing clear skies and heat. Sydney is on the eastern side of a trough, drawing in moisture from the Tasman Sea, which creates cloud and cooler conditions.
Is there any severe weather warning active?
Check the live conditions and our Severe Weather Warning page. At present, no major warnings are current, but a minor flood watch applies for coastal catchments near Wollongong.
Will the bom sa weather forecast change this weekend?
The Bureau of Meteorology’s outlook for South Australia suggests a dry, warm weekend as the high drifts east. You can verify updates on the BOM Weather Australia page.
