After four dry days, showers are returning to Perth and are likely each day through to the end of next week, bringing 30 to 50 millimetres of rain. 
The area from Mandurah to Margaret River should be the wettest with more than 50mm for some.
The wettest days are likely to be today, Saturday and Monday as three cold fronts link up with bands of cloud from the Indian Ocean.
These days are also likely to be the windiest with potential severe gusts of 90kmh or stronger in coastal parts, south of about Perth. Winds of this strength can bring down trees. Gusts in excess of 100kmh cannot be ruled out.
July is traditionally the wettest month of the year for southwest Western Australia and this coming wet spell will take most of the region to about two-thirds of the monthly average. So far, less than half the monthly average rainfall has fallen.
Perth has had 52mm, compared to the average of 149mm.
With this rain to come, this July is still unlikely to be wetter than last year when 179mm fell.
