=== Climate === Busselton has a borderline warm/hot summer [[Mediterranean climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]]: ''Csb''/''Csa''), depending on the recording station used, as the warmest months have mean temperatures around {{convert|22|C}}, the cut-off mark between these two climate types. The [[Bureau of Meteorology]] has had three major temperature-recording sites in Busselton: the Busselton Shire office, with temperatures recorded from 1900 to 1975 and rainfall from 1877 to the present,<ref name="busshire">{{cite web|url=http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/averages/tables/cw_009515_All.shtml|title=Climate statistics for Busselton Shire|publisher=[[Bureau of Meteorology]]|access-date=11 March 2024}}</ref> Busselton Town near The Busselton District Hospital site on Mill Road in [[West Busselton]] (recording from 1998 to 2011),<ref name="bustown">{{cite web|url=http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/averages/tables/cw_009569_All.shtml|title=Climate statistics for Busselton|publisher=[[Bureau of Meteorology]]|access-date=5 July 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://thewest.com.au/news/south-west/storm-brews-over-busselton-weather-reports-ng-ya-266642|title=Storm brews over Busselton weather reports|work=[[The West Australian]]|date=28 October 2013|first=Kim|last=Kirkman|access-date=5 July 2019}}</ref> and the [[Busselton Margaret River Airport]], {{convert|6|km|0}} east of the Busselton Shire station (recording since 1997).<ref name="bussaero">{{cite web|url=http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/averages/tables/cw_009603_All.shtml|title=Climate statistics for Busselton Aero|publisher=[[Bureau of Meteorology]]|access-date=11 March 2025}}</ref> Wind observations have been made at [[Busselton Jetty]] since 1997, and temperature observations have been made in the general area at [[Ludlow, Western Australia|Ludlow]], [[Jarrahwood, Western Australia|Jarrahwood]], and [[Cape Naturaliste]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/data/lists_by_element/alphaWA_7.txt|title=West Australian stations measuring wind speed|publisher=[[Bureau of Meteorology]]|access-date=5 February 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/data/lists_by_element/alphaWA_122.txt|title=West Australian stations measuring maximum air temperature|publisher=[[Bureau of Meteorology]]|access-date=5 February 2022}}</ref> Summers are generally warm to hot with afternoon [[sea breeze]]s, with average daily maxima of {{Convert|28|C|F}} at the shire station and {{Convert|30|C|F}} at the airport station, and a winter that delivers cooler temperatures of {{Convert|7|to|18|C|F}} and wetter weather.<ref name="busshire"/><ref name="bussaero"/> The annual average rainfall at the Busselton Shire station is {{convert|791.6|mm}}, with the wettest period being from May to September.<ref name="busshire"/> {{Weather box |location = Busselton Aero (almost all averages and extremes: 1997–2024;
