Weather & What to Pack

August is winter in Western Australia. Expect mild temperatures between 8 °C and 16 °C, with a chance of light rain and crisp mornings. Dress in layers – a breathable base, a warm mid‑layer and a waterproof jacket if needed – and bring a water bottle, as cooler weather can still be dehydrating.
