Happily, we are just in the middle of a couple of days of light but persistent rain. This has ended any danger from the bushfires around Perth so it is very welcome. We have only received around 20 mm of rain in the last day or so but as we had only recorded 0.2 mm for the first 35 days of this year it seems like a flood. The temperature today is forecast to range from 15 C to 27 C so our jumpers are back out of the cupboard.
