Best Time to Visit Perth

• Spring (Sep–Nov): Ideal weather with pleasant temps (20–25°C). This is wildflower season in Western Australia—the landscapes are incredibly colorful and it's perfect for hiking.
• Peak Season (Dec–Feb): Hot and dry (30°C+). Best for beach lovers and water sports, but flights and hotels are at their highest prices due to summer holidays.
• Autumn (Mar–May): Warm, sunny days and calm evenings. The ocean is still warm enough for swimming, and the crowds begin to thin out.
• Off Season (Jun–Aug): Cool and rainy. While it’s the wettest time of year, it never gets "freezing," and you can find excellent deals on luxury hotels in the CBD.
