The Weather of the Rainbow Coast
Albany, Denmark and Walpole, Western Australia
 

 

The Climate The Weather
The climate of the Rainbow Coast is considered to be "the best in the world," according to those who live here. In winter, we're facing south and the sun is ideally placed to sparkle off of any raindrops headed inland to create the Rainbows from which the area gets its name.

The weather of the Rainbow Coast is most accurately described by the Noongar people of the south west.

The Noongar, having lived in the South West for centuries, have divided the year into six distinct seasons that are even more earth sensitive than our ancestors four - and more accurate for determining when you want to visit.

The Noongar, having lived in the South West for centuries, have divided the year into six distinct seasons that are even more earth sensitive than the Western four - and more accurate for determining when you want to visit.

The locals know it as the best weather in WA. The frequent mix of showers and sun create the magical Rainbows from which the coast gets its name.

The strength of nature is ever present, with a landscape dominated by waterways, wind and wilderness. Click to see more about the SEASONS of the Rainbow Coast. Being at this distance 'downunder' - the Rainbow Coast is perfectly placed, and perfectly named. During the winter months (which is the rainiest time of the year for all of WA) the sun is closer to the northern horizon as we are tilted away from the sun.
