fred_mouseWe've got a severe weather warning current at the moment, and over the last few hours the wind has picked up, there has been intermittent rain, and the temperature has dropped. Our morning walk was okay, just a couple drops of rain, but significant headwinds for one section.
According to our nearest weather station, wind gusts hit 91 km/h at 3:44pm AWST. Strongest winds reported at the BOM site are 117 km/h at Gooseberry hill at 3:33pm AWST. Several locations are already reporting power outages.
(for context: the severe weather warning is for an area roughly from Onslow to just east of Esperance, and west to the coast. This is a very large area, although I'm failing on working out exactly how large, or how much coast there is, but Perth - Onslow by road is about 1400 km and Perth to Esperance is >600, which means at a minimum 2000km of coast are included)
Mods: could I please have a location.au.perth tag.
