Yet another front and low has impacted southwestern WA, the second in under 72 hours. This front brought thundery and showery conditions to the state's capital when it hit at around 10am Friday. The highest rainfalls of the event recorded right in the city at nearly 30mm. At times, rain was quite heavy, with nearly three millimetres falling in 10 minutes and over 10 mm collecting between 11:30am and 12:30pm. Winds were also very gusty. Busselton Jetty recorded gusts of over 70 km/h at the time of the front's arrival. After a relatively dry start to the month, these events have seen Perth collect over 40% of its August average in the last three days. However, with just over a week left in August, it is unlikely that Perth will reach its monthly average this month. This rain has reached further inland, which is particularly good news for farmers in the Central Wheatbelt and Great Southern, parts of which are in drought. Here, Bencubbin and Merredin have now received over twice their August monthly average rainfall. A high pressure ridge is set to develop in the coming days, bringing more calm and settled conditions going into spring.
