The Bureau of Meteorology recorded 0.2 of a millimetre of rain in Perth overnight, ending the city's second longest dry spell in history.
Up until yesterday there had been 78 days without rain, only six days short of the record dry spell of the summer of 1974-75.
The rain comes just after Perth's hottest January in 48 years with an average temperature of 33.5 degrees.
Perth is on track for its hottest summer ever, with the temperature since December averaging 32 degrees.
