Perth residents are bracing for a cold weekend as the city experiences its chilliest mornings of the year, with frost possible before rain moves in next week.
Weekend Forecast
Saturday will be partly cloudy with a top of 18°C after an overnight low of just 7°C. BOM meteorologist David Crock warned that a high pressure system could bring freezing conditions, including frost across the South West.
“Saturday will be quite a cool morning again, with some fog and frost in the mix across the south,” Mr Crock said. “We see this ridge of high pressure, which is extending up into northern Australia as well, and bringing generally fine and settled conditions in the west.”
Sunday will see the mercury climb to 19°C after an 8°C overnight low, with a slight chance of rain in the afternoon and evening.
Next Week Outlook
Monday brings a low chance of rain, with a minimum of 9°C and a maximum of 19°C. Tuesday and Wednesday will be sunny, with highs of 19°C and overnight lows of 7°C. However, the sunny spell will be short-lived.
