What are the latest Sydney weather observations?
Sydney’s official observations come from the Bureau of Meteorology’s automatic weather stations.

The live forecast above refreshes from these stations.

How do I read Sydney’s weather observations?
Key elements to check: temperature (Celsius), relative humidity (percentage), wind speed (kilometres per hour) and barometric pressure (hPa). Falling pressure usually indicates approaching rain or storms. For bom sydney weather detailed, look at the “3-hourly” or “6-hourly” observation tables on the BOM site. The airport station is particularly useful for travellers as it records conditions right on the runway.
