Weather in the South West
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 south coast gets its name.

The weather of the Rainbow Coast is most accurately described by the Noongar people of the south west. View photos of the seasons below, or click here for Current Weather on the South Coast.

The Noongar, having lived in the South West for centuries, have divided the year into six distinct seasons that are even more accurate than our ancestors four - and more reliable for determining the best times to visit the south coast. We have a page dedicated to the seasons which includes a breakdown of the Seasons and a Seasons Calendar.

South Coast Weather - beautiful!

South Coast Seasons Calendar

The Noongar seasons calendar which accurately describes the Seasons on the Rainbow Coast. Though it's called the Rainbow Coast, it's NOT RAINY ALL YEAR, JUST WHEN IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE!

Seasons Calendar, Noongar Seasons, South Coast Weather

The locals know it as the best weather in WA. The frequent mix of showers and sun in wintertime 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.

MeteorologyThe Rainbow Coast is in one of only six regions in the world that have a wet winter / dry summer climate. (They call this Mediterranean-style, but we call it home!)

Winter is not as wet as you might expect. Even during the rainiest parts of the year there are exceptional days for touring the coast. This is when the Whales, Wildflowers and Waterbirds frequent the area.

Being just the right 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 - making rainbows all day long!

 
Here are some photographs of the Seasons of the south coast. The Rainbow Coast is only named this because of the rainbows that appear predominantly in Winter... but the rest of the time the weather is beautiful...
