Weather alert as Perth set to cop another drenching

Winter has well and truly arrived in Perth with another bout of heavy rainfall set to roll in this evening.

Meteorologist Helen Reid said the weather hopefully would not be as wild as last weekend but showers were on the way this afternoon with the possibility of thunderstorms and damaging winds.

“During the course of the afternoon we are expecting a bit of rain and by the time it’s dark this evening it will be quite wet with about 20-30mm to come through,” she said.

“There is also the possibility of thunderstorms and damaging winds.”

And the showers are forecast to continue tomorrow.

Ms Reid said residents on the coast were most susceptible to the severe conditions.

“Those on the coastline will feel the full effect of the cold front,” she said.
