Our Mission
Sydney Weather was created with a simple mission: to provide Sydney residents and visitors with easy access to accurate, reliable weather information. We believe that understanding the weather shouldn't require navigating complex government websites or downloading multiple apps. Our goal is to present Bureau of Meteorology data in a clean, user-friendly format that makes it easy to plan your day.

Our Data Source
All weather data displayed on Sydney Weather is sourced directly from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM), Australia's official government weather agency. The BOM operates a network of weather stations across Sydney, including locations at Sydney Airport, Observatory Hill, and Parramatta, providing accurate and reliable meteorological data.
We fetch updated forecasts daily to ensure you always have access to the most current weather predictions. Our automated systems verify data freshness and alert us to any issues with data updates.
Why Sydney Weather?
Sydney's weather is unique and varied. The city's geography creates distinct microclimates, with temperatures that can differ by 10°C or more between the coast and western suburbs on any given day. Sea breezes, the influence of the Pacific Ocean, and the proximity of the Blue Mountains all contribute to Sydney's complex weather patterns.
We created Sydney Weather because we understood that a generic weather app couldn't capture these nuances. Our focus on Sydney allows us to provide context and information specific to our city's weather patterns, helping you make better decisions about everything from what to wear to whether to plan that beach trip or outdoor event.

- Accuracy: Providing weather data directly from official sources without modification

Understanding Weather Forecasts
Weather forecasting is a science that involves analyzing complex atmospheric data to predict future conditions. While forecasting technology has improved dramatically, predictions become less certain as they extend further into the future. Generally:
- 1-2 days ahead: Very reliable forecasts
- 3-5 days ahead: Generally accurate, but specific details may change
- 6-7 days ahead: Useful for general planning, but expect some variation
We encourage users to check back regularly for updated forecasts, especially during volatile weather periods or when planning important outdoor activities.
