Perth is set for a glorious week of sunshine after Friday’s thunderstorm lashed the northern suburbs.
Tuesday will kick start the warmer weather with a top of 31C and temperatures will continue to heat up as the week goes on.
Residents can expect temperatures to reach 33C on Wednesday, with the weather forecast to hit a high on Thursday at 34C.
Bureau of Meteorology meteorologist Grace Abbott said there was no sign of more wet and wild weather.
“The week ahead is looking very stable. It’s warming up and drying up along the West coast,” Ms Abbott said.
The forecast is a welcome change after Friday’s unexpected bout of torrential rain caused flash flooding in Clarkson, Butler, Ridgewood and Nowergup.
Hundreds of residents were left with damaged homes and no power. Crews were called to Winton Road, Connolly Drive, and Hester Avenue in Joondalup to help people who were trapped in their cars.
Department of Fire and Emergency Services incident controller Glenn Hall said the amount of rainfall last week was unusual.
“Getting this intensity of rainfall is quite unusual, so there are unofficial reports of 50-100mm, and a lot of that seems to have fallen in 30 and 60 minutes. That length of intensity is quite unusual for Perth.”
Heavy rain also caused havoc at Ocean Keys Shopping Centre in Clarkson, forcing the centre to partially close on after water flooded through the roof.
The centre alerted shoppers of the closure via its Facebook page on Friday.
“The safety of our community is our utmost priority. Ocean Keys Shopping Centre has experienced some damage as a result of the severe storm,” it said.
The wild weather marked an end to Perth’s 30-day dry spell.
