Perth weather: Warm conditions continue for metro area with rain expected to fall in coming weeks

Perth’s warm weather looks set to carry on past May with uncharacteristically high temperatures in Perth looking likely to continue through June.

The Bureau of Meteorology’s Catherine Schelfhout said that May has seen unusually warm weather.

“It’s unusually warm and dry at the moment…we are running well below the May average for rainfall and at least a few degrees above average for maximum temperature,” she said.

While there has been little to no rain so far this month, the tides are turning with a high chance of a cold front in the metro area next week.

“We have a very weak cold front crossing the South West corner on Monday, I don’t think it will reach Perth and if it does then it will be a very small amount of rain,” Ms Schelfhout said.

“Friday (May 23) we do have another cold front coming…80 per cent chance of showers, 0-10mm for Perth.”

Ms Schelfhout said the hotter then average temperatures aren’t going away, with this June looking to be a toasty one.

“It’s likely to be a well below average May for rainfall and June is looking pretty average,” she said.

“The chance of exceeding the mean maximum temperature for June is pretty high, so it looks like it will be a warmer than average June.”
