BOM weather delivers official forecasts, warnings and observations for Australia. The Bureau’s data underpins all national weather services. From the live conditions above, you can see real-time temperatures, wind and rainfall across capital cities such as bom weather sydney, bom weather melbourne, bom weather brisbane and bom weather perth. It is the only trusted source for severe weather warnings.
What data does BOM weather provide?
The Bureau issues forecasts up to seven days, operates a national radar network, and maintains a comprehensive bom weather map showing synoptic charts, satellite imagery and rainfall totals. For state-specific outlooks, see bom weather victoria for detailed district-by-district information. The BOM weather app gives mobile access to warnings, radar loops and location-based forecasts — all sourced from the same raw data used by emergency services.
How accurate are BOM forecasts?
Accuracy varies by timescale: short-term (24–48 h) forecasts for temperature and rain are reliable to within 1–2°C and 5–10 mm respectively, while longer-range outlooks carry greater uncertainty. The Bureau’s radar network, covering most populated areas, provides near-real-time precipitation estimates. For current conditions, refer to the bom weather radar on our Weather Radar page.
Where can I find BOM weather for Melbourne?
Open the live conditions above and select Melbourne, or use our Australia weather hub for all capital cities. The Bureau’s official Melbourne page provides hourly observations, 7-day forecast and radar imagery for the region.
Does BOM have a weather app?
Yes — the free BOM weather app is available on iOS and Android. It delivers location-based forecasts, warnings, radar maps and tide predictions. All data refreshes directly from Bureau servers every 10 minutes.
What is the difference between BOM and other weather sites?
BOM is the sole Australian Government source for official warnings and observations. Private sites like Weatherzone or Elders Weather re-package BOM data, but they may use different algorithms for localised forecasts. For life‑saving warnings, always check the Bureau first.
