Perth's Big Drizzle: Did it Rain Cats and Dogs (or Just Cats?)

| How Much Rain Did Perth Have Overnight |
So, how much did it actually rain?
Now, before you grab your trusty raincoat and head out for a celebratory swim in the streets, let's manage expectations. Perth didn't exactly turn into Venice overnight. But according to the Bureau of Meteorology, we did see a decent 26.2 millimetres fall between 9am yesterday and 9am this morning. That might not sound like much to our friends on the east coast, but for Perth? It's a minor miracle!
In fact, it's the most rain we've seen in a single day since LAST AUGUST! That's right, folks, mark June 25th, 2024, in your diaries as the day the drought almost broke.
QuickTip: Take a pause every few paragraphs.
Signs You Missed the Perthpocalypse
- You can still see the bottom of your coffee cup.

- Noah hasn't sent you a Facebook friend request (yet).
But hey, every drop counts, right?
Perth Celebrates... Cautiously
The streets might not be overflowing, but you can practically hear the collective sigh of relief echoing across the city. Social media is abuzz with people rejoicing over puddles, celebrating damp lawns, and finally getting some use out of that umbrella they bought in 2019 (remember those?).
Tip: Don’t skip the small notes — they often matter.
Here's a sneak peek at what Perth's muttering over their morning brekkie:
- "Maybe I can finally wash that car..."
- "Do you think the park will be good for frisbee this arvo?"
- "Wait, is this what grass is supposed to look like?"
Let's just hope this isn't a one-night stand from Mother Nature. Perth needs a serious commitment, you know what I'm sayin'?
Tip: Read mindfully — avoid distractions.
