Perth weather: High chances of showers and possible thunderstorms to round out last week of June

Gloomy skies are gathering around Perth with heavy showers and possible thunderstorms set to hit the city into the weekend.

As the Bureau of Meteorology predicted, we have had a wet start to the middle of this week with rain setting in on Wednesday and more wild weather on the way.

Perth is expected to receive a total of no more than 10mm for the rest of today, with the chance of a thunderstorm.

The wintery conditions will continue on Thursday with a predicted drenching of between 5mm and 20mm.

Thunderstorms may add a spectacular light show to proceedings.

More showers are expected for Friday morning, becoming less likely in the afternoon, with up to 3mm falling. Again, there is the possibility of thunderstorms.

The weekend will see things clear up, with light drizzle on Saturday and Sunday.

In the regions, the north of the State will see a high-pressure ridge weaken.

Thick clouds developing over the Pilbara will move inland and into the south-west Kimberley.

In southern and central WA, a moderate cold front approaching the south-west will weaken as it moves east.

A low-pressure system will arrive on the west coast on Thursday and move inland.

Rain and gusty thunderstorms are expected over most of the State.
