Take one last look at that glorious sun, Perth… because cold and wet conditions are back just in time for the weekend (sigh).

Sunny skies across WA will give way to showery and gusty conditions this weekend and continue into early next week across the west coast and south-west of the State.

Following a brief reprieve from weather that led to the wettest July on record across many parts of Perth, more cold front are expected.

A cold front will move over south-west WA late Saturday.

Two strong cold fronts will then arrive overnight Sunday, and later on Monday, with blustery conditions extending into Tuesday.

The initial front will bring 10-15mm of rainfall across the south-west, with isolated falls of 20-25mm along and west of the Darling Scarp south of Lancelin and east along the south coast to Albany.

Rainfall is expected to start Saturday over the western Gascoyne and extend south, with falls beginning Saturday afternoon in Perth.

The mercury will plummet again from a top of 22C on Friday right down to overnight temperatures of 8C from Saturday.

A spokesperson from the Bureau of Meteorology said this weekend’s cold front will be much the same as we have seen throughout July, with strong winds and heavy rain.

Don’t expect to see the sun until AT LEAST mid-August.
