After its driest year on record in 2010 and below average rainfall so far this year, much of WA’s southwest is in desperate need of rainfall. But I have some good news! Next week a couple of strong cold fronts will bring a wet change to the southwest, but this may be accompanied severe weather.
On Monday, it’s a very “winter-type” set-up with a strong cold front bringing rainfall, windy conditions (potentially damaging winds with gusts over 90kmh) and severe thunderstorms. Showers will continue on Tuesday with onshore winds before another cold front brings more rainfall on Wednesday.
Between the two systems, widespread falls of 25-50mm are possible for the Perth area with 50mm plus for towns south of Perth such as Bunbury and Busselton. Rain totals will drop rapidly heading inland with 1-20mm possible in the Wheatbelt, favouring the western side.
Ahead of this wet and windy weather, try and tie down any loose items and be prepared for a wet and slippery commute to work on Monday.
