The Perth Seasons

Summer in Perth

Summer officially starts in December and finishes in March, although there is plenty of warm weather and sunshine leading up to and following these months. The hottest months are January and February, and temperatures can frequently reach the mid in high 30's Celsius (95-100F). Occasionally the weather can reach 38 degrees Celsius or more (100+ Fahrenheit), and when it does,it is colloquially referred to as "a scorcher".


Autumn in Perth

Autumn runs from March through to the end of May. You could almost call this season, late summer. The weather is cooler, although still usually warm. There is still plenty of sunshine left before the onset of winter. You can expect things to start cooling down toward the end April.

Winter in Perth

The mild Perth winter begins at the start of June and finished in September. It is generally a rainy season, interspersed with chilly yet sunny days. A typical Perth winter day may fall between 16-18 degrees Celsius (60-65 degrees Fahrenheit). There are however, occasionally storms, characterised by thunder, lightning and heavy downpours of rain.

Spring in Perth

Spring begins at the start of September and from this point the weather quickly warms to fine sunny conditions again. The temperatures will continue to rise from now in the lead up to the next summer.



P/s: how come it's a rainy season during my vacation in Perth...*sniff*
