sunbather

Average of around 18-20 during the day. The sun is still strong and warming but the nights can get really quite chilly, around 5 degrees.

thats not to bad have 2 little people with me so that temp would be ok .
when people say its cold it not quite the same as over in uk, as we've just had some snow the other day and that was cold

Hutch

Thing to remember is that the houses here are all built for summer (generally single skin timber frame construction) and so it can and does get very chilly at home at night. In June the average maximum (daytime therefore) temp is 18.7 and the average min (nightime therefore) is 10. According to the Bureau of Meteorology, it has got as low as 1.6 in June. Also expect frequent rain and gusty winds.

June's fine, it might rain twice in the whole month if you're lucky
and the daytimes are beautiful. Yes the nights can get chilly but nothing to worry about..........

is it worth coming to perth in june or i am just going to get rained on all the time is the weather that bad???? or is it like british summers????/ rains all the time and gets a bit of sun for a few days

If you've got a choice avoid June.

There are nice days - and strangely I quite like the weather.
But the houses are often shockingly built and the chances are you will be freezing at night. Which means you will have to bring the right clothing etc etc.

Come then if it's your only option otherwise wait until early Oct or come in May which was quite good last year.

the first year we were here it rained nearly the whole month of June, this past year hardly any rain. The averages on the BOM website are 16 days in the month where it might rain and 155mm of rain over the month.

If it's a reccie, June is a great time to come because you're seeing Perth with it's shortest days of sunlight and indifferent weather. Therefore, the rose tinted specs are well and truly off.

And indifferent is the only way you'd describe the weather in the sense that you could have a few rainy, blustery days, and a few sunny days where you'll be in the park in short sleeves all afternoon.

If a rare, low temperature similar to Hutch mentioned is experienced, you're usually tucked up in bed then so it's irrelevant. What matters is the fact that there won't be any time you'll be too cold in the days to do anything.

My only advice would be is to make sure your accomodation is sufficiently heated for the evenings and early mornings. Otherwise, not a problem.

Last June we were lucky and only had 5 days rain, some days the temp got upto 24 but some nights it got down as low as -0.7
However the year before it rained for the almost the whole of June.
Bring what you would if you where going on Holiday in the UK and dont forget some warm PJ's for the night time

Put it this way, we did it for 3 weeks last June in a camper van. Yes, it got cold at night, but the weather during the day was gorgeous! Had a couple of rain storms but nothing we couldnt shelter from. It was certainly not what I, as a Brit, would consider cold.

We wore Tshirts, jeans and took a fleece in case the wind picked up a bit.

We landed in Perth last May..at night i was so cold me and the rest of family had flu. The houses are not equipped to handle the cold, windows rattling as it is always windy here, drafts, making it very uncomfortable.
First thing in the morning was a nightmare too. Only had one gas fire in the room, rest of house like a fridge. I thought it was as cold as a UK winter, but only in the mornings and evenings. Through the day it was ok. I wore gloves and scarf and coat so do bring your winter stuff.

thanks everyone will be staying in appartments in town which does have heating . does seem that its brit summers! but partner and i have been to perth in september and realoly want to see what perth is like in winter, if we are to move out there then we should know what we are letting our selfs in for.

the whole idea of the trip is do a trial run of living in au, and perth is where we want to move to.


did anyone else do a trial run ?????
