A Cloudy, Cautious Morning Across the Greenstone Region
GERALDTON – April 23, 2025 – It’s a cool and cloud-covered start to the day in Geraldton and the wider Greenstone region, with spring still playing hard to get. As of 7:00 AM at Geraldton Airport, the temperature is just above freezing at 0.1°C, with humidity at a heavy 92%—enough to keep the air damp and cold. Wind is coming in from the east at 9 km/h, contributing to a wind chill of -8°C this morning that might have you questioning whether winter really left town.
Barometric pressure sits at 102.2 kPa, steady for now, and visibility is fair at 16 kilometres. The sky remains mainly cloudy, and while it’s technically spring, there’s a 30 percent chance of flurries or rain showers this morning, with a risk of freezing rain making an icy cameo. So yes, grab that travel mug and a little extra caution if you’re hitting the roads.
A few rain showers are expected to begin near noon as the mercury rises, reaching a high of just 6°C. Winds will pick up from the southeast at 20 km/h before easing up again in the afternoon. The UV index will only hit 3—moderate at best, so you can probably skip the shades but not the layers.
Tonight: Drizzly Drama with Foggy Flair
As evening rolls in, those pesky showers will taper off overnight, but the clouds aren’t packing their bags just yet. Expect a 30 percent chance of lingering drizzle or light showers, along with fog patches developing after midnight. It’ll be a milder night with temperatures holding steady at around +2°C, though it might feel chillier with the dampness.
Forecast for the Coming Days: Dreary but Gradually Warming
Thursday will be mostly cloudy with a 30 percent chance of morning drizzle or light showers. Fog patches should lift as the day progresses, making room for a high of 9°C. The UV index dips to a low 2, a reflection of the cloud cover expected to hang around.
Thursday night carries a 30 percent chance of rain showers or flurries and a low of +1°C, as spring and winter continue their tug-of-war.
Friday keeps the grey skies in play with a 30 percent chance of rain and a daytime high of just 5°C. The night continues under mostly cloudy skies with another 30 percent chance of rain and a low of +2°C.
By Saturday, things finally look brighter (and warmer!), with a mix of sun and cloud and a much more spring-appropriate high of 15°C. Just in time to feel like April again. Saturday night clears out completely, dropping to a chilly -2°C—a quick reminder that up here, winter never fully lets go without a bit of drama.
Weather Wear Advice: Stay Toasty, Stay Dry
Mornings like these call for strategic dressing. Start with a thermal base, layer up with a fleece or sweater, and top it off with a waterproof jacket. Waterproof footwear is a must, and if you’ve got errands today, plan them for after noon when the freezing rain risk fades.
