Given its unique location on the continent, Perth experiences something of a Mediterranean climate, which is characterised by long hot summer from December to February during the height of which the maximum temperatures can reach and exceed 38C, cool wet winter from June to August when the heaviest rainfall of the year descends along with healthy temperatures ranging between 8C and 18 C, and mild transition seasons of Spring and Autumn bringing in pleasant sunshine, warm water temperatures and moderate rainfall.
In keeping with its four distinct seasons, different types of clothing for the year and a change of clothes should be taken into consideration when packing for your Perth visit.
Lightweight cotton and linen attire, like T-shirts, light long-sleeved shirt and loose-fitting neat shorts or jeans, can be worn for most of the year, but you will need a sunhat, sunscreen and sunglasses for protection against the sun during summer, a lightweight waterproof jacket or pullover/sweater for wet cool days in winter, and suitable footwear for beachgoing, biking, or bushwalking.
If you're not going to dress to be seen, smart casual clothing is more than enough to get you into most restaurants, bars, pubs and clubs.
