Thunderstorms set to kick off wet weekend in WA
After a few days of clear skies, Perth is set for another wet weekend, with the chance of thunderstorms on Friday. Although not expected to match the severe weather that West Aussies endured last Sunday, locals are being warned to expected some rain. Bureau of Meteorology's Angus Hines said the showers can be expected after lunch time on Friday. 'Actually quite warm compared to most recent mornings for Western Australia and it will stay dry until around lunchtime,' Mr Hines said. 'That's when we'll see it cloud along the west coast with a few showers moving through both down in the south west and up in the north west. 'None of the rainfall looks to be particularly heavy or prolonged but it would probably pay to get the washing off the line if you see those skies start to turn a little grey after lunch.' Despite the forecasted rain, WA will have some relief from the chilly conditions as temperatures reach into the 20C's. Friday: 11C-20C, chance of thunderstorm. Saturday: 11C-21C, very high chance of showers. Sunday: 11C-18C, very high chance of showers. Monday: 7C-19C, slight chance of showers. Tuesday: 6C-21C, slight chance of showers. Wednesday: 7C-22C, high chance of showers.

Broken Hill records wettest July in 20 years after warmest start in decades
While 40.6 millimetres might not seem like a lot of rain, it is the most the outback mining city of Broken Hill has recorded during the month of July in 20 years. The unusually wet month saw more than double the average fall, and it was the fourth highest at the airport weather site since 1950. Temperature records, unlike the rainfall records, did not begin in Broken Hill until 1992. According to the temperature records, the first six months of 2025 were the warmest since 1992. The average daily maximum temperature from January through June was 27.55 degrees Celsius, eclipsing previous warm years in 2018 and 2019 during the last drought. The climate trend has extended to other parts of NSW, according to Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) senior meteorologist Hugh McDowell. "[From] the Broken Hill area all the way down to the Riverina — and actually as far out as the South Western Slopes — you're seeing wide areas of highest-on-record temperatures for the first six months of the year," he said. Mr McDowell attributed the downpour in far west NSW to cold air "coming out of the Southern Ocean and drifting over Victoria and NSW". "It's been rainfall that the area across much of southern Australia has needed really," he said. For graziers like Richard Wilson, located more than 300 kilometres north-east of Broken Hill at Yalda Downs, the rain has created a "green tinge" after a dry spell. With multiple falls between 10 and 20mm, the pastoralist has been able to stop selling off stock after six months of doing so. "The feed's there now, it's not going to be bulky for a long time," he said. The feed will support his sheep, cattle and rangeland goats. While it has not filled up his dams, it has topped them up a little. "[At] least that little bit of extra depth gets the sheep when they're drinking or the cattle away from that boggy area towards the bottom of the dam," he said. The BOM's long-range forecast for August has predicted more than the average for this time of year, with 17.9mm of rain expected for Broken Hill. "[There is] an increased chance of above average rainfall continuing through August, the end of winter and into the start of spring," Mr McDowell said. "[And] increasing chances of above median rainfall, so it's likely to see more than we would normally see." For graziers like Mr Wilson, the recent rain and the positive forecast have brought hope. "We're just being cautiously optimistic at the moment," he said.
