WA records its warmest start to winter on record while Perth records its equal-hottest June — two degrees above average — with below-average rainfall to boot.

Western Australia has had its hottest start to winter on record with Perth enduring its equal-hottest June ever, as a wet end to the month failed to prevent the city from finishing up with below-average rainfall.The state's mean maximum temperature ended 2.52C above averageOverall it was hotter than a typical September in Perth, with the mean maximum temperature coming in at 21.4 degrees Celsius — well above the June average of 19.5C.

The warm start to winter was largely driven by a stretch of dry, balmy weather early in the month, when Perth recorded three consecutive June days above 25C for the first time. "Over the weekend we saw some heavy rain in a narrow strip, basically a train effect, which is when the wind regime is set up so that when there's a heavy shower cell or a thunder cell, one after the other will follow in the same direction almost as if it was on a track," he said."That's what we got on Sunday with more than 38mm in Perth and 90mm in Bickley."
