Live forecasts update automatically; written guidance last reviewed 23 June 2026 by the Aussie Focus Hub Weather Desk. Data from the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) and other national met services via Open-Meteo.

The live forecast above shows the current conditions across Australia, with a broad ridge bringing settled weather to the interior while a trough triggers showers along the east coast.

What weather patterns are affecting Australia today?

A high-pressure system over the Great Australian Bight is keeping most of the south and west dry and sunny, while a coastal trough off New South Wales is drawing moisture inland. This pattern is typical for this time of year, with cooler mornings in the south and humid afternoons in the north.

  • For the latest conditions in Melbourne, see our weather in Melbourne page – expect a mild, partly cloudy day.
  • Sydney is experiencing showers from the trough; check weather in Sydney for hourly rain chances.
  • Brisbane and Adelaide are both under the high-pressure influence – fine and warm – as detailed on weather in Brisbane and weather in Adelaide.
  • Inland NSW is mostly dry, but see our Australia weather hub for the 10-day outlook across the state.
  • If you are looking for weather in Australia 10 days, the ridge is expected to persist, though a weak front may clip the south-west by midweek.
