WA South West Weather Mayhem
Description
Western Australia’s South West took a beating Friday night as a powerful low-pressure system dumped heavy rain and howling winds, toppling trees, shredding roofs, and even sending a shed roof crashing onto a fence. DFES responded to 26 emergency calls across metro and regional areas. Wind gusts hit 93 km/h at Rottnest, 89 km/h in Mandurah, and a staggering 109 km/h at Cape Leeuwin. Rainfall was equally intense—Glen Eagle got 33mm, Newlands 53mm in 24 hours. While conditions eased Saturday, more wet weather looms for Perth and surrounds, with 15mm expected Sunday, similar showers Monday, and a possible storm bringing up to 25mm rain Tuesday. Stay alert—Mother Nature’s mood swings are here to stay.
