Wave of cold air coming to Western Australia

Wave of cold air coming to Western Australia

While conditions will be wonderfully warm over Western Australia this long weekend, a strong cold front will bring a taste of winter from Tuesday. 

Daylight temperatures should hover around the high 20s and low 30s over most of the region this ANZAC Day long weekend over much of the state. This warm airmass will linger over the region until Monday 25th, with predominantly northerly winds.

Early on Tuesday 26th, these conditions will change as a cold front crosses the region ahead of a cooler airmass. This front will bring increased cloud cover, showers and thunderstorms for much of the west and south of the state.
