How does today compare to the week ahead?

Check the bom melbourne 7 day forecast for details, and the bom adelaide 7 day forecast shows a similar pattern. For longer planning, the most accurate 14 day weather forecast is available through our forecast page, though short-range models are more reliable.

Is there any severe weather expected?

A severe thunderstorm warning may be issued for parts of central Victoria and the Riverina this afternoon, with damaging winds and large hail possible. Check our Severe Weather Warning page for updates.
