Perth – the sunniest of all Australia’s capital cities is busiest during summer (December to February) when the influx of tourists is amplified by local families who are enjoying the school holidays. Cheap flights to Perth are therefore difficult to find during this season. Temperatures range from 15°C to 30°C and people flock to the city’s beaches. A sea breeze called ‘The Freemantle Doctor’ provides some relief but the weather is mostly sunny and dry.
