Source excerpt
Despite a wet start to winter, July has been one of the driest on record for large parts of Western Australia.
A lack of consecutive cold fronts and strong storm systems left rainfall totals across Perth and the southern half well below what would normally be expected for one of the state's wettest months.
The city gauge only managed to record 56.8 millimetres of rain this month, less than half of its long-term July average of 147 mm.
Across the broader South West region, average rainfall was about 39.7 mm for the month — the lowest since records began.
