Geraldton & Greenstone Forecast: Winter’s Not Done Whispering, But Spring’s Speaking Up

Morning Flurries, Afternoon Clearing – It’s a Game of Two Halves

It’s a cloudy, cool start to the day in Geraldton and the Greenstone region, where as of 6:00 AM EDT, the thermometer reads a chilly 0.4°C. Conditions at Geraldton Airport show near-saturated air with 96% humidity, a dew point just below freezing at -0.2°C, and visibility holding at 15 km under thick skies. Winds from the north are clipping along at 17 km/h, bringing a biting wind chill of -5°C—just enough to make that early-morning walk feel like a trek through a freezer.

This morning, there’s a 40 percent chance of flurries making a brief appearance, possibly accompanied by some sneaky freezing drizzle. Yes, April’s being a little extra. But don’t worry—sunny breaks are on their way this afternoon as clearing skies move in. Winds will calm a bit, staying at or below 15 km/h, and the high will rise to a respectable 10°C. The UV index sits at a moderate 4, so while the sun might not be blazing, it’s still strong enough to warrant a little sunscreen if you’re out enjoying the brighter afternoon.

Tonight: Clear Skies, Cold Return

Tonight skies will clear further, leaving just a few clouds overhead. The wind remains light, but temperatures are taking a nosedive to -5°C. Add a wind chill of -9, and suddenly those warmer daytime vibes feel like a distant memory. If you’re heading out tonight, winter coats and mitts are still entirely appropriate—Mother Nature clearly hasn’t read the calendar.

Midweek Forecast: Back to Cloudy with a Touch of Everything

Wednesday starts off relatively calm but quickly transitions to cloudy skies with a 30 percent chance of morning flurries or showers. As the day warms, the chance of rain jumps to 70 percent by noon. Winds will swing around from the southeast at 20 km/h, and the temperature will reach a modest 7°C, though the morning wind chill could dip to -8°C—another reminder that April still likes to surprise us.

Wednesday night brings more cloud and a 60 percent chance of rain or snow with a low of +1°C. Thursday keeps things cloudy with a 30 percent chance of flurries or rain, a daytime high of just 6°C, and yet another mixed bag of conditions overnight.

Friday? Still cloudy, still cool, with a high of 5°C and a 30 percent chance of showers sticking around into the night.

What to Wear: Bundle for Breakfast, Strip for Lunch

Mornings are still cold enough for full-on winter gear—think warm coats, gloves, and layers. But by the afternoon, a lighter jacket or hoodie will do the trick. Keep your waterproof gear handy for Wednesday and Thursday, as spring’s indecisive mood continues.
