The Australian weather map is a real-time visual snapshot of atmospheric conditions across the continent, combining satellite imagery, surface pressure systems and fronts to show where rain, sun or wind is expected today. Combined with the live forecast above for the Australian Alps, it gives you a quick read of the national pattern.

What does the Australian weather map show?

The map layers data from the Bureau of Meteorology’s observation network – cloud cover from the satellite weather map Australia, wind arrows, and isobars that trace high and low-pressure systems. A 10 day synoptic chart Australia extends that picture, letting you track the movement of troughs and ridges over the coming week.
