The Perth Thread - Part 4

[Plugger35]

No rain here yet but it's getting pretty windy.

30-60mm forecast for Saturday now. I've only missed 2 Freo home games in the last 15 years but I might give this weekend a miss if we get anywhere near that.

Sucks for my mum and sisters who have my cousin's bachelorette party on Saturday.

 

[Chicken Treat]

Local amateur football practice matches for Saturday getting cancelled in advance this week.

Can never forget living out Jimboomba way during the floods 10+ years ago.

 

[Off The Couch]

Looking like it will just be a rainy weekend in Perth

Looking like Exmouth or thereabouts will cop the brunt and spookily almost 5 years to the day Kalbarri/Northampton may cop the aftermath again

It's a very visually impressive cyclone. Sustained winds now at 100 knots.

Varanus Island recorded a wind gust of 180 km/hr in the late afternoon yesterday.

 

[Billy ray]

Its beautifully formed

 

[ioppolo]

No wind, just rain.

Pure bliss for Perth. Unfortunate for the North.

I dunno the NW gets some pretty good rain also.

Perth has had a couple of 100m rainfall days ever. It's impressive to see, but in the tropics that just happens and people get on with life and then it might happen again a few days later. Whether you get 10mm or 50mm or 100mm in a day it comes down to intensity. I've been in Broome in January and it was fine all day (humid AF but still fine), biblical rain for an hour or so then back to fine like nothing happened.

People in Perth struggle with wet weather because it's dry most of the year even when it's cold so they aren't used to it, plus Perth isn't designed very well so when a squall comes through gutters overflow and sections of road flood etc. My house is old and isn't really designed for hot weather, cold weather or wet weather.

We don't tend to own much proper winter clothing for the brief period it does actually get very cold.

 

[PunyHumans!!!]

Sweet sweet rain!

Been through some outrageous downpours in Port Hedland where you cant even see out into the street as its just like a wall of white.

Meanwhile this damn Cyclone has caused my job interview to be postponed twice now...cleanup needed in Karratha so its next Tuesday. At least I'll be fully prepared....better get the damn job after all this!

The news said that most of the rain tomorrow will be in the morning and only a bit of drizzle for the game.

 

[Forward Press]

Forecast has changed dramatically, virtually dry for much of Sunday.

 

[ioppolo]

No damaging winds and rain that whilst heavy, wasn't earth shattering.

Colour me shocked.

The cyclone, or what's left of it, will pass well to the east of Perth tomorrow, so there'll be wind and rain around in the morning. From the early afternoon, things should improve after that.

 

[Beerfish]

Looks to me like the rain will be done by 9am or thereabouts.

As is tradition.

Looks like that's it.

Time to backwash the pool.
