Perth’s latest weather observations – shown in the live forecast above – give a real-time snapshot of current conditions, including temperature, wind speed, humidity and pressure, updated every 30 minutes by the Bureau of Meteorology.
What do the latest observations show?
Observations capture what is happening right now at Perth’s official monitoring sites, such as Perth Airport and the city’s coastal stations. Key elements include:
- Temperature – air temperature in Celsius, measured in a shaded, ventilated screen.
- Wind speed and direction – averaged over 10 minutes, reported in kilometres per hour.
- Relative humidity – percentage of moisture in the air, affecting how the temperature feels.
- Atmospheric pressure – in hectopascals, indicating approaching weather systems.
- Rainfall – recent and daily totals from automatic rain gauges.
The bom perth observations feed is the most trusted source for these live readings, while weather perth 14 days forecasts rely on models, not current data.
How reliable are Perth weather observations?
Observations are direct measurements from calibrated instruments at BOM stations. They are far more accurate than forecasts for the same moment, especially for bom perth today conditions. Check the perth weather observations today page for the minutes-old readings.
Where can I find the BOM Perth radar?
Open the live radar loop at BOM’s Perth radar page – it shows recent rainfall intensity and movement, updated every 10 minutes. Combine this with bom perth observations for a complete picture.
What is the difference between an observation and a forecast?
An observation is a measurement of what the weather is doing now; a forecast is an estimate of future conditions. Observations are accurate to within instrument tolerance, while forecasts like weather perth 14 days involve model uncertainty.
How often are Perth weather observations updated?
Automated stations report every 30 minutes. Manual observations at some regional sites may be less frequent. The BOM also provides “specials” during severe weather. For the very latest, set your bom perth today view to auto-refresh.
