WA and Perth Weather: Thunderstorms set to spoil summer weather as low pressure moves across state

It may be starting to feel like summer, but thunderstorms are set to sweep across the state and bring gusty winds and downpours to some parts of WA.

The Bureau of Meteorology outlined the upcoming forecast in a video on October 14, highlighting a low pressure trough that is set to move through WA tomorrow.

“Ahead of that trough, hot conditions, high fire danger and strong winds are building,” said Meteorologist Miriam Bradbury.

Ms Bradbury warned that West Aussies are likely to see thunderstorms developing through the afternoon, sweeping down through the interior and potentially impacting parts of the Goldfields, Pilbara and Gascoyne too.

“Thunderstorms are unlikely to bring much rain to the gauges, but we could see some gusty winds, particularly across the southern interior tomorrow,”
