Sydney 27°C with afternoon showers; Melbourne 16°C and cloudy; Brisbane 32°C and sunny; Adelaide 24°C and clear; Perth 29°C with light seabreeze. A trough over the southeast brings patchy rain while the north stays hot and dry.
What drives today’s conditions?
A low-pressure trough lies across Victoria and New South Wales, dragging moist air from the Tasman Sea. This produces cloud and light rain for Melbourne and parts of the Sydney basin. The western states sit under a weak ridge, giving clear skies and warm afternoons. The tropical north remains humid but mostly dry, with isolated storms possible inland.
