5. Weather:
PERTH WEATHER AND CLIMATE: Perth has a Mediterranean climate and is located in one of only five Mediterranean climate zones in the world. This means that for most of the year, the weather is fine and sunny, and even during the short mild winter the sun is often shining. It is because of these endless summers that many Perth activities revolve around the outdoors. So if you enjoy sight-seeing, outdoor activities, warm sunny days, or lazing on clean sandy beaches, Perth is the perfect destination for your next holiday.
THE SEASONS:*Perth weather is recorded and forecast in degrees Celsius.
SPRINGTIME IN PERTH: Spring begins in September in Perth, and from this time on, the weather quickly warms to fine sunny conditions for the many months ahead. For the most part spring is sunny and warm, especially from October and November, the weather is generally fine and rain is usually minimal or absent.
Wet suits may make you more comfortable particularly spring suits.
