The Great Perth Downpour of... crickets chirping
Ah, Perth weather. It can be a real mystery box, sometimes throwing sunshine your way like a confetti cannon, other times offering all the rain of a desert mirage. So, the burning question on everyone's sun-baked lips (or perhaps slightly wind-chapped ones, depending on the hour) is: did it rain in Perth today (June 26th, 2024) and, if so, enough to fill a thimble?
Well, buckle up for some suspense, folks (or just grab a coffee, it'll likely be less dramatic). According to the Bureau of Meteorology, Perth has seen a whopping... 0.0 millimetres of rain as of this writing. That's right, folks, drier than a vegemite sandwich left out in the sun.
But fear not, fellow Perthlings! There's always hope. The lovely people at WillyWeather reckon there's a 95% chance of rain today, with somewhere between 5 and 15 millimetres expected. So, while it might not be enough to fill a paddling pool (those inflatable flamingos will have to wait another day), it could be enough to dampen the dust and give the local roos a chance to practice their synchronized puddle-jumping routine.

Tip: Read actively — ask yourself questions as you go.
Now, some of you might be staring out the window at a suspiciously cloudy sky and wondering, "Is that rain I see in the distance, or just a mirage caused by my desperate thirst for some decent precipitation?" Here's the thing: Perth is a big place, and the weather can vary wildly from suburb to suburb. So, just because your corner of the city is parched, doesn't mean your neighbour isn't having a backyard slip-and-slide extravaganza.
Subheading: Embrace the sunshine (for now)
Look, on the bright side (which, let's face it, is probably the only side getting any sun today), this lack of rain means you can finally wear those cute sandals without fear of ruining them in a surprise downpour. Plus, all that sunshine is perfect for topping up your vitamin D reserves and working on that tan (because, let's be honest, Perth's winter is basically an extended summer with slightly less enthusiasm).
