Perth's Rain Gauge is Crying: Where's the Winter Whine?
Perth peeps, it's a question on everyone's lips (well, maybe not everyone's – those with blow-up pools are probably pretty happy). Has it rained AT ALL this year? Buckle up for a hilarious (or maybe slightly tearful) dive into Perth's 2024 rainfall so far.
The Official Report: Dripping, Not Drenching
Tip: Absorb, don’t just glance.
The Bureau of Meteorology isn't mincing words. Perth's total rainfall for 2024 sits at a measly 183.2mm. That's well below the average of a whopping 881mm for a Perth year. In fact, you're more likely to find a decent coffee at 3 am than a decent downpour this year.
Tip: Stop when confused — clarity comes with patience.
Sub-heading: Sunny with a Chance of Salty Tears
QuickTip: Look for patterns as you read.
Look, we get it. Perth loves its sunshine. But even the beaches are starting to look a little parched. Remember those glorious wildflower displays? Yeah, those are more like a distant memory. On the bright side, at least we're all getting top marks in our car washing skills (because, let's face it, there hasn't been much rain to wash off in the first place).
Tip: Read at your natural pace.

| How Much Rain Has Perth Had This Year |
A Glimpse of Hope (Maybe)
There's always a chance things could turn around, right? The weather gods might take pity on our dusty utes and finally unleash a decent winter. But until then, here's how to deal with the drought-like conditions:
- **How to channel your inner cloud: **Practice your rain dance moves – those sprinkler pirouettes might just do the trick.
- How to vacation like a millionaire (almost): Dust off that inflatable pool and pretend you're lounging by a tropical lagoon (just BYO palm trees).
- How to become a water-saving whisperer: Take shorter showers, fix those leaky faucets, and give your car a good talking to about all that unnecessary hosing down.
- How to appease the weather gods: We're open to suggestions! Maybe a mass offering of vegemite on toast will do it?
Stay tuned, Perthlings! We'll keep you updated on the latest rain-related developments (or lack thereof). In the meantime, keep those pool noodles handy and those rain dances perfected!
