At least according to European-styled calendars, spring has just begun in Australia’s southwestern corner.
Seasonal realities are in fact highly “fluid”; they do not obey calendar dates.
Whilst seasonal patterns have become progressively more “fluid”, the skies over WA’s south west have provided progressively smaller annual deliveries of actual fluid.
For the past four decades almost every annual and winter rainfall figure has been well below the long term average
in June-July-August 2025 most parts of WA’s south west experienced their first “properly” wet 21st century winter.
Perth’s 2025 winter was the wettest of our 42 years here; only those who have lived in Perth for 68 years have experienced any (barely) wetter one.
