Clear Skies, Frosty Air
Monday: Bright Sunshine, But Bitterly Cold
Good morning, Geraldton and Greenstone residents! The day begins under clear skies with temperatures at -19°C. However, a wind chill of -26°C will make it feel much colder as a northwest wind at 9 km/h bites at any exposed skin. The air is crisp, with humidity at 69%, and the barometric pressure is high at 103.0 kPa, signaling stable weather.
Sunshine dominates today’s forecast, but it’s no time to underestimate the cold. The temperature will climb to a high of -14°C, but the morning wind chill of -30°C poses a risk of frostbite. By afternoon, the wind chill will improve slightly to -20°C.
Tonight: Arctic Temperatures
As the sun sets, the skies will turn partly cloudy, and the mercury will plunge to -23°C. With light winds up to 15 km/h, the wind chill will intensify to a bone-chilling -31°C. Frostbite risks remain high, so if you’re stepping out, layer up and cover every inch of skin.
Looking Ahead: No Warmth in Sight
Tuesday: Cold with a Chance of Flurries
Tuesday brings a mix of sun and cloud with a 30% chance of flurries in the afternoon. The high will reach -20°C, but the morning wind chill of -31°C will require extra precautions. Overnight, the clouds will linger, and the temperature will plummet to -30°C, continuing the frigid streak.
Wednesday: Sun Returns, But Cold Intensifies
Wednesday offers clear, sunny skies, but it will be even colder, with a high of -21°C. Overnight, the thermometer dips to -29°C, so prepare for another icy night.

Wardrobe Tips
