Visibility is already reduced in town, and later today the wind will make the cold feel much sharper—setting up frostbite risk overnight.

• Wind starts south 20 km/h, becomes light early, then turns north 30 km/h gusting to 60 early this afternoon

• Temperature steady near -1°C

Travel note: As winds crank up from the north this afternoon, expect reduced visibility at times and tougher conditions on open stretches of road.

Wardrobe Recommendations

• This morning: Waterproof boots, warm gloves, and a hat—visibility is low and it’s easy to underestimate the chill.

• This afternoon: Add a windproof outer layer. With gusts to 60 km/h, exposed skin cools fast.

• Tonight into Wednesday morning: Dress for serious cold—insulated parka, scarf/neck warmer, mitts over gloves, and face coverage if you’ll be outside. With wind chills near -34, frostbite can happen quickly.

Weather Trivia

Environment Canada lists Geraldton’s seasonal normals as about -13°C for the daytime high and -27°C for the overnight low—so tonight’s -23°C is cold, but the wind chill is what makes it feel extreme.
