=== Climate ===
Kalgoorlie has a [[hot semi-arid climate]] (''[[Köppen climate classification|BSh]]'') bordering both a [[hot desert climate]] (''BWh'') and a [[cool semi-arid climate]] (''BSk'') with hot summers and mild winters. The average annual rainfall is {{convert|260|mm|in|abbr=on}} on an average of 68 days and, while the average rainfall is fairly evenly distributed throughout the year, there is considerable variation from year to year.

January is the hottest month, with an average maximum temperature of {{convert|33.6|C}}, but temperatures above {{convert|40.0|C}} occur nearly once a week when hot, dry, north to northeasterly winds arrive. Such high temperatures are usually followed by a cool change from the south, and occasionally with a thunderstorm.

By contrast, winters are cool, with July average maximum and minimum temperatures being {{convert|16.7|C}} and {{convert|5.0|C}}, respectively. Cold, wet days with a maximum below {{convert|12.0|C}} occur about once every winter. The lowest maximum temperature recorded is {{convert|7.2|C}}, on 19 July 1961. Overnight temperatures fall below freezing about four times in a typical winter. Such events occur on clear nights following a day of cold southerly winds.
