Severe Weather Warning
for Damaging Winds

for parts of South West and Lower West districts.

Issued at 10:46 am Sunday, 20 July 2025.

Cold front to bring damaging winds to the southwest coast, easing this evening.

Weather Situation
The passage of a cold front will bring damaging northwesterly wind gusts to parts of the southwest coastline from late this morning, before easing into the evening. While gusty conditions are likely across much of the South West Land Division, damaging wind gusts are not expected outside the warning area.
DAMAGING WINDS for the following areas:
Lower West and South West
DAMAGING NORTHWESTERLY WIND GUSTS with peak gusts of around 90 km/h are possible over the warning area and may cause DAMAGE TO HOMES AND PROPERTY.
Winds are expected to turn southwesterly behind the front and ease below warning thresholds during the late afternoon and evening.
People in southwest WA typically experience a front as windy as this about 5 times per year.
Locations which may be affected include Bunbury, Mandurah, Margaret River, Busselton, Augusta and Dunsborough.

The Department of Fire and Emergency Services advises that people should:
* If outside find safe shelter away from trees, power lines, storm water drains and streams.
* Close your curtains and blinds, and stay inside away from windows.
* Unplug electrical appliances and do not use land line telephones if there is lightning.
* If boating, swimming or surfing leave the water.
* Be alert and watch for hazards on the road such as fallen power lines and loose debris.
* Keep away from flooded drains, rivers, streams and waterways.
* Be careful of fallen trees, damaged buildings and debris.
* Be careful of fallen power lines. They are dangerous and should always be treated as live.
* Assess your home, car and property for damage.
* If damage has occurred take photos and contact your insurance company to organise permanent repairs.
* If your home or property has significant damage, like a badly damaged roof or flooding, call the SES on 132 500.

The next Severe Weather Warning will be issued by 5:00 pm AWST Sunday.
Warnings are also available through TV and Radio broadcasts, the Bureau's website at www.bom.gov.au or call 1300 659 210. The Bureau and Department of Fire and Emergency Services would appreciate warnings being broadcast regularly.
