Peel, South West regions record low rainfall across winter months

The wet season came to a close on Monday, with both regions and the broader Perth metropolitan area once again falling short of their usual winter averages for rain.

Mandurah recorded just 76 per cent of the mean rainfall it is expected to see across June, July and August.

The Peel region city had a particularly dry August, with the total 59.2mm accounting for just over half the expected average.

In total the city received 252.8mm of rain over the three-month span, well short of its 330.6mm average.

Busselton also fell alarmingly far from its average, with the beach-side city's 280.4mm of rain accounting for just 72 per cent of its 387.4mm average.

Both Bunbury and Margaret River faired better but still failed to reach the heights they've come to expect, as each tallied 87 per cent of their usual rainfall throughout winter.

A cold front that passed through in early August threatened to shower the state with downpours, but even then most of the Peel and South West areas received less than expected.

Up to 60mm was forecast to drench Mandurah across August 9 and 10, but the city saw just over 20mm fall from the sky.

Busselton's wettest day of the season came on June 11, when just under 29mm of rain hit the city.

That same day conjured more than 10 per cent of Bunbury's winter rain, producing 38.8mm.

Looking forward, intermittent showers are expected to kick off the Spring season, with wet weather on the way for the next week.

This coming Sunday is expected to produce up to 10mm of rain for areas across the Peel and South West regions, with temperatures not expected to breach any higher than 20 degrees.
