A mix of sun and cloud across most capitals today, with a cool change sweeping through the south and a lingering shower risk along the east coast. The live conditions above show current temperatures and wind for your city.
What’s driving today’s weather?
A trough moving over Victoria and South Australia is bringing cooler air and isolated showers to Melbourne and Adelaide, while a high-pressure system keeps Brisbane and the Gold Coast mostly fine but humid. Sydney sees patchy cloud with a slight chance of a late shower, and Perth enjoys a sunny, mild day after morning fog clears.
How does this affect your plans?
If you’re heading outdoors in Melbourne or Adelaide, keep a jacket and umbrella handy — the cool change is brief but noticeable. For those on the Gold Coast or in Surfers Paradise, the humidity will ease by evening, making a beach walk comfortable. Inland areas stay dry, so it’s a good day for a drive or a hike.
Will the rain in Melbourne last all day?
No, the showers are isolated and should clear by mid-afternoon. The cool change will linger, so expect temperatures to stay below 20°C. Check the weather radar for live updates.
Is today a good day for the beach on the Gold Coast?
Yes, the morning is fine with light winds, but cloud builds by lunch. UV levels are moderate, so wear sunscreen. For the most accurate 14 day weather forecast, see our 10-day outlook.
