Parts of the Southwest district of Western Australia received their best September rainfall in several years on Tuesday as a cold front clipped southern WA.
The Lower West and Southwest saw the heaviest rain, recording up to 30mm.
Manjimup and North Walpole received 24mm and 23mm respectively, making it the wettest September day in five years for both locations.
Karri Valley had their wettest September day in three years with 28mm.
Damaging wind gusts were reported as the change moved through with a gust of 95km/h recorded at Cape Leeuwin.
The Perth area recorded a burst of showers, with up to 4mm falling in just ten minutes. Perth city received 11mm to 9am. Perth has now recorded 25mm in September, over 25 percent of their monthly average rain.
Showers eased as the front moved further east with only scattered showers continuing Wednesday in fresh westerly winds.
High pressure looks set to dominate the weather for southern WA in the next week, with a weak front due around Saturday unlikely to bring more than scattered showers.
The south coast may see isolated showers as a ridge of high pressure directs winds onshore.
