Paraburdoo is experiencing dry, hot conditions typical of the Pilbara interior. The live forecast above shows today’s temperature and any immediate chance of showers. This inland mining town has a semi-arid climate with scorching summers and mild, mostly dry winters.
What makes Paraburdoo’s weather different from Perth weather?
Paraburdoo sits about 1,500 kilometres north of Perth, so its weather is far more extreme. Summer daytime temperatures regularly exceed 40°C, while Perth weather is moderated by the coast. Winter nights in Paraburdoo can drop below 10°C, but rain is scarce year-round. For a comparison of coastal versus inland conditions, check the Perth weather page.
How does Paraburdoo compare to Tom Price weather?
Tom Price is only about 80 kilometres north-west of Paraburdoo, so both towns share nearly identical climate patterns: very hot summers, mild winters, and low annual rainfall. The main difference is local topography – Tom Price sits on the Hamersley Range at higher elevation, making it a degree or two cooler on average. For current conditions in that area, see our severe weather warning page during summer heatwaves.
Does Paraburdoo get much rain?
No. Paraburdoo averages about 300 mm annually, mostly from sporadic summer thunderstorms and occasional tropical lows. Winters are virtually rainless. The wet season (Nov–Apr) brings the only real chance of measurable falls.
How hot does it get in Paraburdoo?
Summer maximums often top 45°C, especially in December and January. Overnight lows stay above 25°C during heatwaves. The record high is 47.8°C. Always check the bom paraburdoo observations before planning outdoor work.
Is there a reliable Paraburdoo weather radar?
The nearest Bureau of Meteorology radar is at Port Hedland (about 330 km north), which can detect approaching storms. For local detail, use the bom paraburdoo observations page and the paraburdoo weather 14 day forecast to anticipate large-scale patterns.
For broader patterns, visit our Australia weather hub. If you need the latest paraburdoo weather observations or a paraburdoo weather radar scan, the Bureau of Meteorology site is the most reliable source. Remember that Tom Price weather and Paraburdoo weather are virtually interchangeable – both towns share the same Pilbara furnace.
