Much needed rain is on its way for a large portion of southern Western Australia in the coming days. According to Weatherzone, a low-pressure system moving inland today and Thursday is expected to bring falls of 10mm to 20mm. What's even more surprising is that the rain is anticipated to reach further north and east than initially predicted.
The dry spell that has plagued Perth and the majority of south-western WA for the past year may finally come to an end. Weatherzone data shows that since July 2023, Perth has received below-average rainfall, with December last year recording a measly zero millimetres. Despite some decent rainfall in June, with over 90mm already recorded, the city is still 33mm short of its monthly average.
This trend is not just limited to Perth, as much of the state is experiencing similar conditions. The arrival of this low-pressure system is expected to bring strong northerly winds this morning, followed by a front and trough crossing the coast mid-morning. However, the majority of the rain is expected to come with the front, with the added possibility of thunderstorms. As the cold air and low-pressure centre move across the region on Thursday and Friday, they will develop into a cut-off low.
This unique weather event is expected to bring bitterly cold temperatures, potentially leading to thunderstorms, hail, and even brief tornadoes. Weatherzone even predicts that light snow may fall on the Stirling Range on Friday morning. However, the good news is that the weather is expected to clear up by the weekend.
