It’s going to be hot in the city tomorrow with the temperature forecast to hit 38.

Perth’s first taste of summer only seems fitting with the first day of the Perth test to kick off on Friday. Because it isn’t really summer in Australia until the cricket season is in full swing.

Perth weather for Friday 14/12 is set to be very hot and mostly sunny. Somehow there is still a slight (20%) chance of a shower in the south in the evening.

Winds east to southeasterly 15 to 20 km/h tending east to northeasterly 20 to 30 km/h before dawn then tending southeast to southwesterly in the late afternoon.
