The climate of Perth (Australia)
Perth is one of the most remote large cities in Australia. In the area
around Perth there is nothing but emptiness. Because of its remote
location Perth was an independent colony for a long time. Perth is
seen as one of the most beautiful cities in Australia. Perth has an
idyllic location with the river Swan and the beaches of the Great
Pacific on one side and the green hills of the Darling Ranges on the
other side. Perth is one of the few places in Australia where you can
romantically watch the sun set in the ocean. The beautiful beaches are
pleasant because of the sunny climate of Perth. Perth also offers a
lot of exciting activities. How about swimming with sharks? The Great
Aquarium of Western Australia is situated just outside Perth. Here you
can find four large aquariums in which you can admire sea life from
the Indian Ocean. In one of the basins you can actually swim with
sharks. If this offers too much excitement the Western Australian
Museum offers a nice alternative. Here you can find several
collections on the history of the early colonists. Exhibits on
Australia’s mammals and exhibits on Aboriginal culture.
Because of its location on the coast Perth has a Mediterranean
climate. The wind constantly blows from the sea. Summers are warm and
pleasant. Winters are mild. During the winter rain and thunder storms
are not uncommon because of the cooling down of the land. This
phenomenon mostly occurs during the winter.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
