WA and Perth weather: Long-range forecast promises West Aussies a sun-soaked summerAmy CavenderPerthNowThu, 27 November 2025 4:39PMCommentsCommentsEmail Amy Cavender
After one of the wettest winters on record, The Bureau of Meteorology has revealed its long-range summer forecast — and it’s extreme.
BOM released a statement, predicting key trends of the weather leading up to Christmas and into next year.
“The summer forecast currently shows that rainfall is likely to be below average for large parts of Western Australia. Above, below or near-average rainfall are all possible outcomes for the south,” the statement said.
A key takeaway was that summer temperatures are going to be hotter than normal.
“Summer days and nights are likely to be warmer than usual throughout most of Western Australia,” BOM said.
“There is an increased chance of unusually high daytime temperatures in the northern half of the state. There is an increased chance of unusually high night-time temperatures for the north, as well as the south-west.”
The statement also warned that every year October to April is Western Australia’s peak time for bush fires, especially in western and southern parts of the state.
The long range forecast comes after predictions that parts of Perth could hit 38C on Monday.
Meteorologist Angus Hines said Perth is slowly starting to see the weather warm up.
“It’s starting to feel like summer, we have had a whole lot of ups and downs this year, and it definitely hasn’t been as sunnier as previous years but this time of year you do start to see the temperature getting warmer,” he said.
