Perth's downpour set to clear up next week
It may be raining cats and dogs, but an end to the ruff weather isn't far off — with clear skies on the horizon from Monday.
Australia's shortest day of the year was marked by widespread downpours and a cold front, with Perth recording more than 7mm of rainfall on Saturday, and 47mm over a 24-hour period from 9am on Friday.
The State Emergency Service also received more than 36 requests for assistance from West Australians inundated with water across the State.
A similar soaking is expected on Sunday, partly cloudy with a high of 19C and a low of 10C, after which the city's minimum temperatures are expected to drop.
'We had a cold front pass by followed by a bit of a rain band which caused those heavier falls (at the weekend),' Bureau of Meteorology meteorologist Grace Abbott said.
'That cold pool is now moving off so in the new week we'll have gradually clearing conditions — and that means our minimum temperatures will start dropping.
'But there's definitely still showers expected tomorrow (Sunday) — between 1-5mm in Perth.'
Maximum temperatures over the next week aren't expected to shift significantly, however, with highs still forecast to sit between 18 and 21 degrees.
Sunday: Cloudy, showers, 10-19C
Monday: Partly cloudy, 8-18C
Tuesday: Partly cloudy, 6-19C
Wednesday: Mostly sunny, 5-19C
Thursday: Partly cloudy, 6-20C
Friday: Partly cloudy, 7-21C

Burst of spring-like weather forecast after parts of NSW colder than Antarctica
A taste of spring-like warmth will offer Sydneysiders a reprieve from frigid winter weather early next week after parts of NSW woke to conditions colder than Antarctica on the weekend's winter solstice. A high of 22 degrees will arrive on Monday, the Bureau of Meteorology forecasts, as a burst of warm air moving east across the continent drives June temperatures 5 degrees above average before the winds of winter return from Tuesday. Towns across NSW ushered in Saturday's winter solstice with their coldest morning in years. Canberra recorded a pre-dawn temperature of -7.6 degrees – its coldest June morning in 39 years. Forbes shivered through a low of -5.5 degrees, the coldest June morning there in 27 years, and Cowra had its coldest dawn in a decade at -3.1 degrees. Loading Goulburn and Cooma out-iced Antarctica, hitting respective lows of -10 and -8.6 degrees on Saturday morning and offering residents a taste of what it's like to wake up within the polar circle: Antarctica's Davis Station clocked -8.4 degrees at the same time, according to Weatherzone. The frosty snap was caused by a high-pressure system parked over south-east Australia, keeping a dry and cold air mass over inland NSW. The winter solstice marks the day of the year with the shortest daylight hours (nine hours and 54 minutes for Sydney) which contributed to the frosty morning. 'We've had clear skies, light winds, and at the moment the nights are longest, which means we can really lose heat overnight,' bureau meteorologist Gabrielle Woodhouse said.
