The climate of Western Australia (Australia) Western Australia is one of the largest areas in the western part
of Australia. The area is large and empty. This is why the Australians
also call it Never-Never. Western Australia’s nature is overwhelming.
There are as many as 75 national parks which can be visited. Off the
coast some beautiful coral reefs can be found. The inlands consist of
red sand deserts with rough rock formations. The ancient Aboriginal
culture can be discovered here or you can go swimming with whale
sharks. Western Australia is very diverse.
Western Australia has a warm desert climate. Only 200 millimeters of
precipitation falls here every year. However, when it rains rainstorms
can get quite heavy. The coastal areas are less warm. The areas in the
south western part have a Mediterranean climate with mild winters and
warm summers. In the autumn when the sea is still warm and the land
cools down a lot of rain can fall. The coastal areas in the northern
part with their tropical climate also know this phenomenon. The
summers in particular are warm and damp.

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:
