Prepare for a Scorcher

Fremantle enjoys a Mediterranean climate i.e. winter rains and fine summers.

During January to March conditions are hot and sunny.

In the morning the wind is hot off the land and sometimes quite strong. By noon it is weak and those on the shimmering beaches look to the southwest for the dark line that heralds the arrival of the Fremantle Doctor (as the local sea breeze is known). As the sun sets over the ocean the Doctor departs leaving warm, still nights, low in humidity and great for outdoors living.
