Geraldton's record-breaking Christmas Day temperature caused footpaths to buckle in 2021, but experts say locals should enjoy a milder holiday this year.
It comes after the Midwest city recorded its hottest Christmas Day ever last yearPeaking at 47.3 degrees Celsius, last year's maximum temperature surpassed Geraldton's previous Christmas Day weather record of 44C from 1915.
Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Jessica Lingard said it would not be anywhere near as hot this year, with an expected maximum of 33C."A trough is going to bring nice north-easterly winds down to the west coast, bringing those hotter temperatures from the Gascoyne and up into the Pilbara, down toward the west coast," she said.
Experts say a trough on Australia's West Coast will bring the warm weather to the Midwest at the weekend.
