for Damaging Winds
for Lower West, South West, South Coastal, South East Coastal, Great Southern and parts of Goldfields, Central Wheat Belt and Central West districts.
Issued at 10:48 pm Sunday, 6 July 2025.
Damaging winds to redevelop from Monday morning as another cold front impacts the southwest.
Weather Situation
A strong cold front crossed the southwest earlier today, with conditions temporarily easing tonight. A second strong cold front will cross the southwest coast early on Monday morning, with further vigorous northwesterly winds bringing widespread impacts to broader parts of the South West Land Division for the remainder of the day.
Warnings for Sunday 06 July
DAMAGING WINDS for the following areas:
Goldfields, Central West, Lower West, South West, South Coastal, South East Coastal, Great Southern and Central Wheat Belt
West to northwesterly DAMAGING WINDS averaging 50 to 65 km/h with peak gusts of around 100 km/h are likely to redevelop about the second front over the South West district from early Monday morning, extending to the Lower West and South Coastal districts, including Perth, by the late morning, and the remainder of the warning area from around midday. Winds will then shift to the southwest behind this front, with DAMAGING WINDS likely to persist throughout the afternoon and into the evening.
Conditions are then expected to ease from the west during Monday evening, but DAMAGING WINDS may persist over southeast coastal parts of the warning area into Tuesday morning.
The front that crossed today produced weather that is about typical for this time of year. The front crossing on Monday is stronger, people in the southwest of WA experience fronts as windy as this about 5 times per year. This second front will be the strongest front of the year to date.
Locations which may be affected include Albany, Bunbury, Esperance, Katanning, Mandurah, Manjimup, Margaret River, Merredin, Mount Barker, Narrogin, Northam and Perth.
