Yeah ... I only trust Perth Rain Bucket for rainfall totals ... a semi reliable, marginally honest, somewhat accurate, haphazard reporter of rainfall eventsBickley observations ( where 2 dams are located) has recorded around 52mm in the last 24 hours which is a great result

The Perth Rain Bucket is the most important rain bucket, no other rain buckets matter.How many buckets are strategically located? Quantities vary dramatically.
Snd I’m quite convinced that the rain clouds parts ways and go around canning vale all the time
Your second para is correct. Even though we've had a lot of rain lately, we're still well down on our year-to-date average. The creeks don't start flowing properly until the soil profile saturates and the groundwater hits the surface in all the little high-level swamps and valleys. Across much of the hills, that just never happens any more. Therefore many creeks only flow for a day or so after a downpour, when the rain falls too fast to soak in.We have a little creek side camping spot deep in a forest North East of Perth - inland from gingin / Bindoon / Chittering. Anyway, even in late spring it is usually flowing and we've had many a trip there.
We went there lsat weekend after the 230mm+ over 3 weeks prior, and the creek and terrain were bone dry. The small creek crossings we anticipated were not dry. I'm guessing the hills soak up an enormous amount of rain before they run!
We were utterly baffled. Did so much of the moisture over past month somehow skip the forest / northern pre-wheatbelt towns
It's going to be pretty nice in Perth for the next week! Gotta love that blocking high! (sorry snowWeather wise, late Feb to mid Mar is GORGEOUS in Perth![]()

just posted a thread on geopotential heights on twitter using this as an example!

We try and score a month or so in Canada around then as we like the lead to remain hardWhich I do!![]()
It would seem that Perth is expecting some inclement weather and (local shopping mall) London Court has taken precautionary measures

Stay on Topic CWI think the whole idea of London Court is a little bit embarrassing to be honest.
Stay on Topic CW
(It’s cringie for me but my parents love it, and it’s their generation it was built for, so it exists as an example of ‘what was’ in Perth.)

Won’t be for a week or so, big blocking high in placeAny one want to hazard a guess as to when Perth will get its next decent rainfall? I have to drain my rainwater tank and I don't want to wait a month for it to start refilling.

I see the BOM had a forecast of snow down to 600m in the Great Southern for last night and perhaps persisting today. This would put a nice cover on Bluff Knoll, and a dusting on the Porongurups.
This is a photo my son took this morning near Koolyanobbing.... vigorous cold front and hail.

An ever so light Easterly to blame for that one.Cold old morning today in Perth. 2.5 at the folks place in Freo, surprisingly cold being this close to the beach.

The Mount Lawley site got down to 3.3C.
Airport down to +1.9C
With a few negatives registered inland.
Pretty stunning inversion, which is not something you see alot of in WA. Hence the warmer temps on elevated terrain.we live closer to the Jandakot weather station and scoresd a low of 1.9 with apparent of 0.3.
But Bickley up in the hills, and closer to that Easterly scored a much milder low of 5.2
I enjoy the cold mornings.
Bought myslef a really nice Calvin Klein jacket in Canada, and I only get to wear it on those cold mornings.
Nice to see all those other commuters shivering on the platform![]()
