Perth has recorded a four-month soaking, the first time this has happened in the spring-winter period for 18 years.

The WA capital reached its September average of 79.3mm during light showers on Tuesday and Wednesday, reports Weatherzone.

When more rain fell during the 24 hours to yesterday morning, this month’s total in Perth hit the 93mm mark.

It came after the winter months all recorded above average falls, with August totalling 203mm, July 174mm and June 129mm.

The rainy winter weather was also accompanied by storms and lightning strikes over much of WA.

The last time Perth had a run of similar wet conditions was in 2007.

The soaking has been a welcome break in a long stretch of below-average falls, stretching from last November to May.

Meteorologists report that the south-west region of the state, which includes Perth, has experienced persistent drought conditions, lasting from September 2021 until just last month.

It explains why water storage in Perth currently sits at only 48 per cent of capacity.

Looking ahead, the city is forecast to have dry weather over the next week, with maximum temperatures next Wednesday shaping to hit 30 degrees.
