Tips & Recommendations

  • Summer is reliably hot and dry — 35°C+ days are common from December to February
  • The "Fremantle Doctor" sea breeze usually arrives by early afternoon in summer, providing welcome relief
  • Winter rain comes in fronts from the Indian Ocean — a waterproof jacket is essential June to August
  • Perth gets more sunshine hours than any other Australian capital — sunglasses are a daily essential
  • Evaporative coolers work well in Perth's dry heat and are cheaper to run than reverse-cycle AC
