While showers and rain have been lingering over southern regions of Western Australia, there are no signs that clear skies are going to return any time soon. Several frontal systems are expected to cross the southwestern parts of WA over the coming week, keeping the wet, windy and cloudy conditions that have been affecting the state for the last week. Since last Sunday, a mix rain and lingering shower has led to about 33m of rain being recorded in Perth. Other nearby sites recorded similar amounts, the gauge at Bunbury receiving around 28mm. While these lingering showers briefly gave way to prolonged periods of clearer skies in the middle of last week, they are expected to return over the coming week. Two fronts, one crossing over the weekend and another crossing on Wednesday look to bring some fair rainfall totals into the region. As the fronts cross, they may also trigger a few thunderstorms, though they are more likely just offshore. While showers will linger throughout the week, most of the rain should come as the fronts pass through. By next Sunday, totals of about 40-60mm can be expected around Perth and Albany, while the far southwest may see 60-80mm over the week. Following the second front, skies look to clear briefly as a weak high develops. Unfortunately for those that would like such weather to linger, more fronts look to cross before the month ends, bringing a return to rainy conditions.
