Weather in Albany in June

Shoulder season. June is shoulder season in Albany — cheaper, quieter, and a genuine gamble. You should expect rain on 16 days of the month, which is more days wet than dry.

June ranks 10 of 12 — near the bottom of Albany's year. January is the month that works, and the swing between the two is 36 points, which is a different holiday rather than a slightly better one.

Rain on 16 days, 3 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. Pack for 17.2 °C days and 13 °C nights; the spread matters more here than any single number.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: the day barely swings — 4.2 °C between the overnight low and the afternoon high. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest June day reached 23.1 °C and the coldest night fell to 9.2 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 40 mm — roughly 43% of the month's rain in one day.

June is statistically steady but not small: the year-to-year variation is modest in relative terms, yet the wettest June on record still delivered 175 mm against 54 mm in the driest. In a month this wet, even a tame spread is a lot of rain in absolute terms — the 94 mm average is a reasonable planning figure, not a promise.

Wind sits around 19.8 km/h — a steady breeze rather than a nuisance, and welcome on the warmer days, and humidity runs at 77%, high enough to notice on the warm days without dominating them.

How June sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 19.1 °C in May, 17.2 here, 16 in July. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much.

Daylight in June

June sits at the dark end of Albany's year — 9.8 hours of daylight against 14.5 at midsummer, holding steady all month. Sightseeing days are genuinely shorter, and an itinerary built for summer will not fit.

Sea temperature

The sea sits at about 18.2 °C in June — swimmable, but it takes a moment to commit. The sea peaks at 19.8 °C in February and bottoms out at 16.1 °C — water lags the air by a month or two, which is why the best swimming often comes after the best weather.

How busy it gets

Off season. The genuine off season: cheapest by a distance, with the caveat that some tours and restaurants close entirely.

Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.

June in Albany versus nearby

If Albany is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Bunbury is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 1 day less rain. Perth is a better bet in June — within a degree on temperature, 4 days less rain.

So: June is a compromise. January is 31 points better and is what Albany is actually like at its best — worth moving the trip for if that is possible, and worth adjusting expectations for if it is not.
