Weather
At Boshack, we mostly have sunshine and clear skies. Dress for mild to warm weather, and bring a hat, sunglasses and suncream. In Winter (June, July, August) you will need a cardigan/sweater.
Evenings. The evenings are a consistently beautiful time year round, with mild conditions ideal for sitting by Lake Serene.
Winter. Winter at Boshack is mild, with an average maximum around 18 degrees Celcius, and many days a balmy 20-25. We get a lot of clear blue skies. The temperature can get down to 1 degree at 6am, and rises around 5 degrees an hour until about 10am. One third of Perth’s rainfall comes in Winter, so if the weather is looking bad in Perth, come up to Boshack.
Summer. An average summer day has a maximum temperature in the low to mid 30s. We have some very hot summer days around 36 to 40 degrees - these days are by no means uncomfortable, and we show you the techniques the old timers used to stay cool.
