Based on the live forecast above, Canberra’s hourly conditions today show a mainly dry morning with cloud building towards a possible afternoon shower – check the hour-by-hour for timing.
What does the hourly forecast look like today?
The live forecast above breaks the day into three‑hour blocks. Morning temperatures start cool and rise steadily, peaking in the mid‑afternoon. Wind shifts from light north‑westerly to a cooler south‑easterly by late afternoon, which can bring a brief drop in temperature. Rain chances increase after 2 pm, but most hours remain dry.
How do wind and humidity change through the day?
Humidity is highest early in the morning (around 75–85 %) then falls to 40–50 % by mid‑afternoon before rising again after sunset. Wind speeds stay light, generally below 20 km/h, but a gusty south‑easterly change may arrive near 5 pm. This pattern is typical for a late‑spring day in Canberra.
When is the best time to exercise outdoors today?
Early morning (before 9 am) is the coolest and driest window. By mid‑afternoon the UV index is high and a light shower may develop, so plan for a morning walk or run.
Will the hourly forecast change if a storm develops?
Yes – the BOM updates the hourly data every few hours. For the most accurate timing, check bom canberra weather directly or refresh this page before heading out.
