The weather across Australia today is shaped by a high-pressure system in the Great Australian Bight, bringing clear skies to the south-east while a trough over inland Queensland triggers afternoon storms. The live forecast above shows the current conditions for your selected location.
What is driving today’s weather pattern?
A slow-moving high centred near the Bight is keeping Victoria and New South Wales mostly fine, with light winds and mild temperatures. A trough extending from the interior into Queensland is drawing moist air, causing isolated showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. Western Australia is sunny and warm under a ridge. Check the Australia weather hub for regional details.
How accurate are the seven-day forecasts?
Forecast accuracy drops after day five as small changes in pressure systems can shift rain bands or wind patterns. For the most reliable outlook, use the Melbourne Weather page or refer to the live forecast above for your town’s three-day window — that is where models perform best.
Where can I find reliable Australia weather Melbourne updates?

How do I interpret the bom weather radar?

Is there a reliable bom weather app?
Yes, the BOM Weather app is free and offers warnings, observations and forecasts. It uses the same data as the website. For bom weather victoria forecasts, you can also set location alerts directly within the app.
