A cool, unstable air mass is driving showers and strong winds across the southeast, while a heat trough builds over the interior. The live conditions above show Melbourne’s CBD sitting on 16°C with light rain, while Adelaide and Perth are dry under partly cloudy skies.
What’s driving today’s weather across the country?
A low-pressure system south of the Bight is directing a cold front into Victoria and South Australia, bringing patchy rain to Melbourne and gusty winds along the coast. Meanwhile, a separate trough over Western Australia is drawing hot air south, keeping Perth mild and dry. Brisbane is seeing a mix of sun and cloud as a coastal ridge holds firm.
Will the rain stick around for Melbourne?
Showers are expected to persist through the afternoon before easing tonight, with the best chance of heavier falls near the Dandenongs and bayside suburbs. For the latest on incoming weather, check our weather radar for real-time tracking of the band crossing the state.
Is Melbourne likely to see storms today?
Thunderstorms are not expected in the CBD, but a few isolated cells could develop east of the city toward the Yarra Ranges this evening. Keep an eye on the severe weather warning page for any updates.
What about wind conditions in Adelaide?
Gusty northwesterly winds up to 40 km/h are forecast for Adelaide this afternoon, easing after sunset. It’s a typical spring front — nothing extreme, but enough to stir up dust in the northern suburbs.
Is it a good day for outdoor plans in Perth?
Yes, Perth should stay dry with light easterly breezes and a top of 23°C. The UV index is moderate, so sunscreen is wise if you’re heading to the coast. Check weather today for hourly trends.
