The Perth Rain Gauge: Did it Leak, or Did the Clouds Forget Us?
Ah, Perth weather. It's a fickle friend, sometimes throwing sunshine our way like confetti, other times leaving us drier than a desert dingo's lunch break. So, the question on everyone's parched lips this morning is: did it rain at all in the last 24 hours?
The suspense is drier than a handful of sand...
According to the latest weather reports, Perth seems to have experienced a rainfall event as exciting as watching paint dry. That's right, folks, the rain gauge registered a whopping zero millimetres. Not a drop, not a sprinkle, not even a rogue tear from a lonely cloud.
Tip: Pause if your attention drifts.

But wait! There's a twist...
Now, before you grab your surfboard and head for the outback (because clearly that's where all the rain went), there is a glimmer of hope. Some weather enthusiasts are claiming a slight malfunction with the rain gauge. Perhaps it took a vacation to Fiji and forgot to come back? Maybe it's on strike for fairer treatment (it does have to deal with a lot of grumpy Perthians when the rain decides to play hooky).
QuickTip: Stop scrolling, read carefully here.
The official verdict?
The jury's still out on the rain gauge's little "vacation." But one thing's for sure: Perth is officially in desperate need of a good soaking.

Here's to hoping the clouds haven't forgotten our address!
Tip: Each paragraph has one main idea — find it.
Meanwhile, here are some FAQs to quench your thirst for knowledge (because rain apparently isn't an option):
How to perform a rain dance (just in case): Grab your brightest clothes, crank up some upbeat music, and unleash your inner dancing queen/king. Rain loves a good party, apparently.
How to build a DIY rain gauge (because science): Grab a tall, straight-sided container (like a jar) and a ruler. Mark the side of the container in millimetres and watch those precious raindrops accumulate (hopefully, soon!).
QuickTip: Go back if you lost the thread.
How to convince the clouds it's actually summer in Perth (because clearly they're confused): Break out the sunscreen, dust off your beach towel, and maybe wear some sunglasses indoors. Fake it 'til they make it, right?
How to tell if your pet goldfish is secretly plotting a rain-making scheme (because why not?): Keep an eye out for suspicious stockpiles of fish food and unusually enthusiastic bubble-blowing sessions.
How to accept that Perth weather is a living, breathing entity with a mind of its own (and possibly a mischievous streak): Deep breaths, people. Deep breaths.
