Fremantle Doctor
FREE-man-tul
A cooling afternoon sea breeze that arrives in Perth and Fremantle, Western Australia, during the hot summer months. Its arrival is a daily event that the city depends on — temperatures can drop 10 degrees or more within minutes. Often simply called "the Doctor."
Etymology
Named for the port city of Fremantle. The "Doctor" convention — shared with the Harmattan and the Cape Doctor — reflects a tradition of naming benevolent winds as healers.
