Sydney today is seeing the conditions described in the live forecast above – a mild, partly cloudy day with a gentle sea breeze off the coast of the Tasman Sea. After a cooler inland start, the city and its eastern suburbs should reach a comfortable peak, though showers may drift in from the Blue Mountains by late afternoon.

What’s driving Sydney’s weather right now?

A slow-moving coastal trough, combined with a moist easterly airstream, is keeping the sky variable over the harbour and its near west neighbours. The sydney weather radar from the Bureau of Meteorology shows patchy rain bands across the inland and northern suburbs, with the chance of a storm building after 3 pm. Those heading out in the city, Parramatta or along the coast should keep an eye on the radar and check severe weather warnings if you’re planning an outdoor event.

Will it stay this way for the week?

The 14 day weather forecast sydney indicates a gradual clearing trend from midweek as the trough weakens, though the weather in sydney tomorrow will remain unsettled with similar cloud cover and a slight chance of a shower. For a broader picture, the weather in sydney 10 days ahead suggests a return to more stable, sunny autumn conditions by the weekend, though overnight temperatures will drop a few degrees.
