What is the 14-day outlook for Southern Cross?
The 14-day forecast for Southern Cross shows daytime highs between 24°C and 32°C, with overnight lows from 10°C to 16°C. A dry pattern dominates, with only a slight chance of a shower around day 10. This aligns with the region’s transition into summer, where heat builds gradually.
How does the weather radar help here?
The Southern Cross weather radar, operated by the Bureau of Meteorology, covers a 256-kilometre radius. It is most useful for tracking fast-moving storms or dry lightning events, which can spark bushfires in the surrounding wheatbelt and goldfields. For real-time updates, check the Severe Weather Warning page.
Is Southern Cross weather similar to Kalgoorlie weather?
Yes, both share a semi-arid climate with hot summers and cool winters. Kalgoorlie weather is typically 1–2°C warmer in summer due to its inland position, while Southern Cross receives slightly more winter rainfall from westerly fronts.
How does Merredin weather compare?
Merredin weather is very similar, being only 100 kilometres north-west. Both towns experience the same dry, sunny pattern, though Merredin can be marginally cooler in winter due to its higher elevation in the wheatbelt.
What about Norseman weather?
Norseman weather is hotter and drier, sitting 200 kilometres south-east. Summer highs there often exceed 35°C, while Southern Cross benefits from slightly more cloud cover and a coastal influence from the west.
