What is BOM weather and how do I use it?

The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) is Australia’s official weather service, providing forecasts, warnings, and observations. For the most reliable reading, open the BOM weather app or check the live conditions above. Across the country, from Sydney’s coast to Perth’s inland plains, BOM data is the standard for planning your day.

What should I expect from the forecast today?

For Melbourne and Victoria, a cool change is moving in from the west—expect showers by late afternoon. Brisbane and southeast Queensland are looking at a fine morning, with possible storms inland. In Perth, the sea breeze will keep the coast mild, while the BOM weather radar shows a band of rain approaching the city. Sydney may see a southerly buster later, typical for this time of year.

What do weather warnings mean for my area?

BOM issues severe weather warnings when conditions turn dangerous. In the BOM weather app, you can set alerts for your location—handy if you’re in Victoria or New South Wales. Check the Severe Weather Warning page for current alerts. For a broad view, the Weather Radar shows rain and storm movement across Australia.

How does BOM compare to other weather services?

BOM is the official source, but many use Weatherzone and Elders for complementary detail. For localised beach or marine conditions, WillyWeather is a good companion. All are linked in the sources below.
