Practical weather notes for Perth

Perth's isolated coastal position on the Indian Ocean gives it one of the sunniest climates of any major Australian city, with a reliable afternoon sea breeze, locally called the Fremantle Doctor, that takes the edge off summer heat. Inland suburbs tend to run noticeably hotter than those closer to the coast.

Seasons in Perth

Southern Hemisphere seasons apply: December to February is hot, dry summer, while June to August is the cooler, wetter winter, when most of the year's rain falls. Spring and autumn are generally mild, dry and pleasant for being outdoors.

Frequently asked questions

How often is the forecast updated?
The live weather data refreshes several times a day, so you're always seeing the latest forecast for Perth.

Is the 14-day forecast reliable?
The first few days are usually the most accurate. Further ahead, the forecast mainly shows a trend rather than the exact weather at a specific hour.

What should I check before heading outside?
Look at the combination of rain, wind and feels-like temperature. A short trip can handle a passing shower, but a longer walk or bike ride benefits from a more stable stretch of weather.
