Using the Perth and the South West rainfall forecast safely

This map is forecast guidance, not a warning. Totals change with every model run, and a single storm can drop far more rain on one catchment than the map suggests. Official rainfall, flood and severe weather warnings from the Bureau of Meteorology always take priority for Perth and the South West. Never drive through floodwater.

For rain already falling, use the rainfall radar and observations. For storm risk, see the Perth and the South West thunderstorm forecast map.
