Perth enjoys 300 days of sunshine a year making this a great destination whenever you choose to go. The region enjoys the highest sunshine in Australia and the climate is similar to the Mediterranean. Below are the highlights for each season.

Spring

  September – November is spring in Perth. The days are sunny and the nights are pleasant. This is a great time to visit for those who do not like too much heat. The temperatures in spring are warm enough for sailing and some water sports but the heat is not intense like the summer.  

Summer

  December to February are the hottest months of the yearWhilst rain is unusual in the summer months, thunderstorms can occur although these are usually brief and pass fairly quickly. The days are long in the summer, and this is the time to enjoy the many beaches on offer.  

Autumn

  Autumn usually peaks in April with the fall of maple leaves in the area forests—and the arrival of homemade maple syrup in shops. That said, days remain warm enough for attending outdoor events, such as movie screenings on Sandy Beach.

Winter

  During the winter, which peaks in July, temperatures stay cool but agreeable, with snow having never been recorded on the ground. Rain is a fact of life, though June is usually the wettest month—so keep an umbrella handy at all times in case of a surprise downpour.
