Live forecasts update automatically; written guidance last reviewed 23 June 2026 by the Coast Pulse Weather Desk. Data from the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) and other national met services via Open-Meteo.

Check the live forecast above before you head out; Sunday’s conditions across Australia’s capitals often hinge on a change sweeping through, so pack for both sun and a sudden southerly if you’re in the south.

What’s the weather doing in each capital this Sunday?

For Sydney, Sunday tends to bring a mix of clearing showers or a settled autumn day—check the live forecast above for the exact feel. Melbourne often sees a cool change arrive by afternoon, while Brisbane stays warmer and more humid. Adelaide and Perth are typically drying out after a front, but Perth can still have a hot easterly if it’s summer.

Will Sunday be windy in Sydney or Melbourne?

Often yes. A southerly buster can hit Sydney in summer afternoons; Melbourne gets a cool change with gusty winds. Check the live forecast above for wind speed and direction before planning outdoor activities.

Is Sunday a good day to fly out of Adelaide or Brisbane?
