If you’ve ever caught yourself Googling “weather forecast Perth” at 6 AM before heading out, you’re not alone — Western Australia’s capital flips between sunshine and surprises faster than most visitors expect. The Bureau of Meteorology keeps the official record, but a handful of global forecasters layer their own models on top, and the gap between what each says can matter if you’re planning something outdoor. This guide pulls the most current Perth WA data, cross-checks it across sources, and lays out what you can actually rely on for the next few weeks.

Weather in Perth Tomorrow

Current conditions

The Bureau of Meteorology’s West Perth forecast calls for mostly sunny skies with a chance of early fog, according to its official West Perth forecast page. Winds blow from the east at 15–20 km/h, and the UV index hits a very high rating of 9 between 9 AM and 3:40 PM — meaning sun protection is essentially mandatory if you’re spending time outdoors during those hours.

Tomorrow’s outlook

Weatherzone’s current reading for Perth shows a sunny Monday with only a 5% chance of rain and east winds persisting at similar speeds (Weatherzone current conditions). The immediate forecast aligns well across BOM and Weatherzone, giving residents a solid basis for tomorrow’s planning. For those watching the temperature swing, the May 1–2 2026 data from Perth Metro station 009225 recorded a 17.5-degree spread on May 2 alone (11.9°C to 29.3°C), so dress-in-layers remains the sensible approach this time of year.

The upshot

Perth’s tomorrow outlook is straightforward: sunny, warm, and UV-savvy. Pack sunscreen and a light layer for the evening cool-down.

Weather in Perth 10 Days

Day-by-day breakdown

AccuWeather’s 10-day forecast for Perth shows temperatures hovering around 72–73°F (22–23°C) with sunshine and pleasant conditions through early May (AccuWeather 10-day forecast). Nighttime lows range from 48°F to 52°F (9–11°C), which tracks closely with Perth’s October historical average of 21°C high and 9°C low documented by AccuWeather.

Temperature highs and lows

The BOM Perth Metro station logged a mean maximum of 30.8°C across the first 28 days of May 2026, with a mean minimum of 18.3°C — notably warmer than the spring averages (Bureau of Meteorology observations). For the next 10 days, daytime highs are expected to land in the mid-to-high 20s, with mornings staying in the low double digits. Weatherzone’s recent observations back this up: May 1 showed 17.8°C max and 11.7°C min, while May 2 came in at 18.1°C max and a notably cold 5.0°C min — a significant dip that illustrates how quickly Perth mornings can swing.

Why this matters

Perth’s 10-day window shows consistent warmth but watch for sharp morning dips — the May 2 minimum of 5.0°C caught by Weatherzone (Weatherzone observations) is a reminder that “mild winters” still bite before sunrise.

Weather Perth 14 Days

Weatherzone forecast

Weatherzone offers a popular 14-day outlook for Perth that’s widely bookmarked by locals. Its recent five-day summary through May 3 showed highs around 20–23°C and lows between 5°C and 13°C (Weatherzone 14-day outlook). The service also integrates BOM radar data, giving readers a visual layer that pure text forecasts lack.

Timeanddate extended

The Weather Network pushes its 14-day outlook further, showing rain chances ramping up toward the second week. Its October data for Perth WA showed an 80% probability of precipitation (1–3mm) on October 29 and 31, while November 10 carries a 90% chance with around 15mm expected (The Weather Network 14-day forecast). This pattern — dry through mid-spring, then wetter by late October/November — aligns with Perth’s typical seasonal transition.

What to watch

If you’re planning outdoor activities beyond the 10-day mark, keep an eye on The Weather Network’s probability-of-precipitation figures. The jump from 5% to 80–90% PoP signals that residents should prepare for the approaching wet season shift rather than expecting the dry conditions to persist.

28 Day Weather Forecast Perth

Trends beyond 14 days

BOM itself acknowledges that forecasts beyond two weeks carry meaningful uncertainty. Its climate ahead page notes that long-range outlooks cover the next week through three months, but these are guidance documents, not precise predictions. For Perth specifically, the BOM observations from station 009225 show that the first 28 days of May 2026 averaged a maximum of 30.8°C — roughly 10°C warmer than Weather25’s reported long-range average of 20.4°C, illustrating how much actual conditions can diverge from seasonal estimates.

30-day extension

Weather25 publishes a 30-day forecast that reports an average of 20.4°C for Perth WA, claiming this sits 1.2°C below the historical seasonal average (Weather25 long-range forecast). However, Weather25 is a Tier 3 aggregator, and its figures should be treated as directional estimates rather than reliable day-to-day guidance. The verified BOM data shows May 2026 running considerably warmer than Weather25’s long-range model — a discrepancy worth noting if you’re comparing sources.

Takeaway for planners: BOM’s Perth Metro data shows May 2026 averaging 30.8°C max, far warmer than Weather25’s 20.4°C estimate. Long-range forecasts beyond 14 days are worth monitoring but shouldn’t drive firm commitments. For day-of decisions: use BOM or Weatherzone. For seasonal planning: treat Tier 3 estimates as loose context.

Weather Forecast Perth BOM

Perth BOM location page

The Bureau of Meteorology operates the definitive hub for Perth forecasts at its Perth-specific location page. From here, visitors access the West Perth suburb forecast, the Lower West district outlook, and direct links to radar and observation data. BOM’s West Perth forecast notes partly cloudy conditions with a medium chance of showers and the possibility of a thunderstorm for the broader Perth area (Bureau of Meteorology West Perth forecast).

21-day BOM forecast

BOM does not publish a standalone 21-day point forecast for Perth WA — rather, it issues 7-day detailed forecasts and supplements them with 3-month climate outlooks. The observations page from Perth Metro station 009225 provides the raw data behind these summaries, showing daily readings back to at least May 2026 (Bureau of Meteorology Perth Metro observations). The May 27–28 data showing 3.2mm of rain on each day marks a notable shift from the dry conditions earlier in the month — the first meaningful precipitation the station recorded in that period.

The catch

BOM’s official 21-day Perth forecast doesn’t exist as a single document. Instead, it fragments across the 7-day forecast, radar maps, and 3-month climate outlook. The West Perth forecast page remains the most actionable daily resource.

Timeline signal

  • May 1, 2026: Perth Metro recorded 26.3°C max, 11.8°C min, 0mm rain — a dry, warm start to the month (Bureau of Meteorology)
  • May 2, 2026: Max jumped to 29.3°C with an 11.9°C minimum, again no rain — confirming the warm, dry streak (Bureau of Meteorology)
  • May 27–28, 2026: Both days logged 3.2mm of rainfall, marking the first consistent precipitation after two weeks of dry weather (Bureau of Meteorology)
  • October 29–31: The Weather Network forecasts 80% PoP with 1–3mm expected on each date, signaling the approaching wet season transition (The Weather Network 14-day outlook)
  • November 10: A 90% chance of rain with approximately 15mm predicted — the highest precipitation risk in the current 14-day window (The Weather Network 14-day outlook)

The pattern emerging across these timeline points shows Perth flipping from dry warmth in early May to the wet season onset by late October and November — a shift that outdoor planners must track closely.

What checks out

  • BOM West Perth: Mostly sunny, E winds 15–20 km/h
  • Perth Metro May 1–2 2026: dry, warm (26.3–29.3°C max)
  • Weatherzone May 1: 17.8°C max, 11.7°C min
  • AccuWeather October average: 21°C / 9°C
  • UV Index reaches Very High 9 in West Perth midday

What needs more data

  • Weather25’s 30-day average of 20.4°C conflicts with BOM’s May 2026 actuals of 30.8°C — directional at best
  • Beyond-14-day precipitation probabilities from Tier 3 sources
  • Precise timing of the wet season onset for 2026

What the experts say

Mostly sunny. The chance of fog early this morning. Winds east 15 to 20 km/h. Sun protection recommended from 9:00 am to 3:40 pm, UV Index predicted to reach 9 [Very High].

— Bureau of Meteorology, West Perth forecast

For this time of the year, Perth is experiencing slightly cooler temperatures, gently falling below the seasonal average.

— Weather25, Long-Range Forecast

The divergence between these two sources captures the core challenge: BOM’s official forecast describes what’s happening right now (sunny, UV 9, east winds), while Weather25’s long-range model makes a forward-looking claim about relative warmth that doesn’t hold up against May 2026’s actual observations. For anyone planning beyond next week, this underscores why cross-verification matters.
