Best time to visit Bunbury

Australia · 20-year averages

November is the best month in Bunbury, scoring 89 out of 100, with July the weakest at 56. The 33-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. 6 of the twelve months sit within ten points of the best, so there is more than one right answer.

January is the warmest month at 31 °C and July the coolest at 16.4 °C — a 14.6 °C spread across the year. Around 66 days a year top 30 °C, concentrated in January and the months either side.

There is a real wet season here. June to September carry the rain — up to 17 wet days in a month — while January, February, March and December drop as low as 2. That 15-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Bunbury, and it moves further than the temperature does.

The sea is comfortable for swimming in January to June — 22.7 °C at its warmest against 18.7 °C at its coldest. The water peaks a month or two after the air does, so the best swimming falls later in the year than the best weather. Daylight runs from 10 hours in winter to 14.3 in summer, enough to notice on a sightseeing itinerary.

The three strongest months are November, December, March. The one to think twice about is July. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight, sea temperature and crowd levels.
