Summer means great heat in Perth. The tourists come for some holiday sun in December, although the temperature can get very high in January and February. You'll need to bring hats, sunglasses and plenty of sunscreen during this season.

Winter is the wettest period. June and July already gets a lot of rainfall, but August is the most rain-soaked month in Perth. Pack a rain jacket and several warm clothes if traveling during this season.
