WEATHER CONDITIONS 

Carnarvon has an average of 320 days of sunshine every year, with a lovely average temperature of around 26 degrees – no surprise then that’s it’s a state leader in terms of solar power generation. It’s also the reason so many people flock here in the cooler months down south, chasing winter warmth.
