Check the live forecast above, then plan around Applecross’s mild coastal pattern—expect sea breezes to drop temperatures in the afternoon, especially during summer.
What’s the typical weather in Applecross?
Applecross sits on the Swan River, so its weather is shaped by the nearby coast and the Darling Scarp. Summers are warm to hot, with dry, sunny days and a reliable afternoon sea breeze (the “Fremantle Doctor”). Winters are cool and wet, with most rain falling between May and August.
- Summer (Dec–Feb): average max 30–32°C, low humidity, clear skies. The sea breeze often drops temps by 5–8°C by late afternoon.
- Winter (Jun–Aug): average max 17–19°C, overnight lows near 8–10°C. Rain occurs on about 12–14 days per month.
- Spring and autumn are transitional: mild days, cool nights, with occasional thunderstorms from the east.
How accurate is the 14-day forecast for Applecross?
For weather applecross 14 days, reliability drops after day 7. The Bureau of Meteorology’s (BOM) seven-day outlook is your best guide; extended forecasts from weatherzone applecross can indicate trends but shift with synoptic changes.
- Days 1–3: high confidence (synoptic pattern locked in).
- Days 4–7: moderate confidence (check daily updates for wind shifts).
- Days 8–14: low confidence (use only for general planning, not event decisions).
Does Applecross get extreme weather?
Severe weather is rare but possible. Summer heatwaves can push temps above 40°C, and winter storms may bring damaging winds from the west. The suburb is not prone to flooding, but low-lying river foreshore areas can see minor inundation during king tides and heavy rain.
- Heatwaves: check perth weather forecasts for heat alerts; use air conditioning and avoid outdoor activity in the middle of the day.
- Winter storms: gusty north-westerlies ahead of cold fronts can exceed 80 km/h. Secure outdoor furniture.
- Bushfire risk: low for Applecross itself, but smoke from Perth Hills fires can drift in on easterly winds.
What is the best time of year to visit Applecross?
Autumn (March–May) and spring (September–November) offer the most comfortable weather: warm days around 22–26°C, low humidity, and minimal rain. Perfect for walking the foreshore or dining at riverside cafés.
How does the Fremantle Doctor affect Applecross?
The sea breeze arrives from the south-west around midday, cooling Applecross by 5–8°C. It can strengthen to 25–35 km/h, making afternoons pleasant but gusty. The breeze typically fades after sunset.
