Perth recorded 21mm to 9am this morning plus another 12mm today, their best rain in 2 months.
Albany, on the southern coast has recorded 10mm in the same period. They also recorded a maximum today of just 13 degrees, 4 below average and a massive 14 degrees less than the 27 degrees they recorded on Wednesday. Perth reached just 17 today, more than 8 degrees less than the 25 degrees recorded yesterday.
