Check the live forecast above for today’s conditions—Kewdale’s weather is typically mild and dry this time of year, thanks to its position in Perth’s eastern suburbs under a Mediterranean climate.
What makes Kewdale’s weather different from the Perth coast?
Kewdale sits about 10 kilometres inland from the Swan River, so it’s often a couple of degrees warmer than Perth city or Fremantle in the afternoon. The easterly sea breeze usually arrives later here, meaning mornings can stay calm and clear before the ocean influence kicks in. Rainfall is sparse over summer, with most of the year’s 800 millimetres falling between May and August.
How do easterly winds affect Kewdale in summer?
In summer, early morning easterlies can bring dry, dusty air from inland. By midday, the Fremantle Doctor—a cooling south-westerly sea breeze—often reaches Kewdale, dropping temperatures noticeably. On hot days above 40°C, that breeze may not arrive until late afternoon, so plan outdoor activity for early morning or evening.
Does Kewdale get frost in winter?
Yes, on clear winter mornings the temperature can drop below 5°C, especially in low-lying areas. Frost is rare but possible after cold fronts pass, typically between June and August.
How accurate are the forecasts for Kewdale?
The Bureau of Meteorology’s Perth Metro forecast, which covers Kewdale, is reliable for temperature trends and rain timing. For local wind shifts, check the live forecast above as sea-breeze timing can vary by an hour or two.
Is Kewdale prone to thunderstorms?
Thunderstorms are uncommon, averaging just a handful per year, mostly during late spring or early autumn. They usually arrive from the north-east and can bring brief heavy rain and gusty winds.
