Australian weather observations, maps and station charts
Find what the weather is doing now, explore recent station trends and compare conditions across Australia. This guide brings together the live map, national summary, regional tables and individual observation dashboards.
Understand the guidance
Live map: where conditions are changing
Explore temperature, dew point, apparent temperature, humidity, wind and rainfall. Select a parameter and use time playback to follow recent changes. Each site shows its latest observation at or before the selected time; the map’s time step is not a new measurement at every station.
Summary: current standout readings
The national and state summary ranks current temperature, rainfall since 9 am and latest reported gusts from retained observations. Highest current temperature is not the day’s maximum; latest gust is not the day’s peak. Filtering means an empty list is not evidence of zero everywhere.
Station dashboards: recent trends
City, alpine and other listed dashboards combine latest readings with temperature/dew-point, wind/gust, humidity, pressure and rainfall charts. Hover for values and enlarge charts for detail. A station represents its own site rather than an entire city or mountain range.
Read timestamps and rain windows
Observation time is when weather was measured; generation time is when the product was built. Station local time zones vary. Rain since 9 am differs from rolling totals, while dashboard 1-hour/3-hour rainfall is derived from the cumulative gauge trace. Missing readings are not zero.
