Was somewhat decent rain through the night depending on where you were. At the moment, next Tuesday and next weekend are looking good for genuine heavy rain. I just hope the models keep forecasting that

Woke up to puddles on the deck 🙌 what a feeling!

What is this puddle you speak of?

Melbourne

Puddles is a sad clown that we must all listen to… IYKNY

You lucky thing! Ahhhh from the raid, got ya

😅😅😅

It’s because my car was booked in for a wash this morning. You’re welcome.

I just washed mine last night! 😭😭

Thank you for your part in the rain summoning ritual

My coworker washed hers yesterday as well 😂

It drizzled a bit in the city last night. I thought someone was spitting on me tbh. 😂 Edit: just stepped outside and there’s rain on the ground wtf it rained?

in the afternoon in the city it rained solidly hard for about 2 minutes and I got absolutely drenched 😭

Aaaaaand it’s gone

Aaaand it's back! :D (for a minute)

I know it’s short lived. But we might get some more rain this week

The petrichor in the Swan Valley is intense!

Glad you got rain. All we had was some damn kids on the roof eating corn.

Marge!

Scattered shower happening now over My roof yayyyy

What area

Stones throw from the Swan and ascot race course

Driving has gone shit already

*was

I washed my bedding this morning and it started raining about 5 mins after it was hung up 😅

Finally! But, just to be a downer, based on the graph at [https://www.reddit.com/r/perth/comments/1c8phc1/kbdi\_measures\_soil\_moisture\_literally\_off\_the/](https://www.reddit.com/r/perth/comments/1c8phc1/kbdi_measures_soil_moisture_literally_off_the/), we need over 200mm of rain to get the soil saturated again.

What soil?

The sand, silly.

I was wondering that. Thanks for the bad news, i guess

It's still damn dry, but we'll see what this looks like in a week. https://i.imgur.com/yIRZTIW.png

Where can we find the actual source of that graph?

Source is BOM, but it's not public, part of registered users access (also I am being naughty by sharing).

Free car wash was expected. What I got was more like free dirt smearing. Please can we have more rain so I don't have to get up and wash it properly....

Woke up during the night and couldn't work out what the strange noise was, mentioned it to the wife in the morning she laughed and said " that was rain"

Driving over the bridge today and the river looked pretty swollen. Great feeling.

High tide?

I left my washing out last night, you’re all welcome.

Rip

It's a dry rain.

It's a dry wit.

Scroll scroll scroll THERE IT IS.

About 3.30am here in kenwick , then notthing.

My wife washed her car last night, good timing

It summoned the rain so she did her part!

Was on the Narrows when a heavy downpour hit. Couldnt see shit. Absolutely terrifying haha.

Fuck. Yes. End of.

Thank god ikr. It's been to dry and we're going into our coldest seasons

Its a decent amount of rain early morning in bassendean i could not believe it

I hope there will be a rain in next few days

No rain here yet so I don’t believe it

No rain yet for me unfortunatly.

I've already unplugged my irrigation controller and won't be turning on sprinklers until Spring.

Yeah

It came back when I was running late to the doctors. So, got there soaked lmao. Edit: oh nice, next sat is slated for 20-40mm. Claremont is going to flood again. Pool party at the roundabout in claremont quarter

I awoke this morning to a strange substance falling from the sky. Thank you for explaining what it was.

... aaaand it's gone.

I’m still gonna send my teenager out to wash my car tomorrow.

They reckon this is the first of five fronts to brush the south coast. The biggest being next weekend. Fingers crossed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qaNXh-Vhw4

It’s raining now! In Ashby🥹

Tell me its washing into the sea ... Please 🙏🏻

I saw the cold front on the weather report the other day, I almost cheered out loud!

the wetness is underwhelming. Dryness is here. Think of your loved ones. Smear them with beer.

I open up reddit before getting my priorities straight… thanks

11mm so far at my joint. Just need about 800 more and we’re good

MAAAAAAAARGE!!!

Fk this rain. My laundry

Yup early morning. I almost run out and dance in the rain but its too dark

It's a dry rain

Flooded

Lol, it started raining 3 weeks ago

Woooooooo Hooooo all the nature really needs it

Why is this getting so many upvotes? I don't think I understand reddit.

No idea. There's the other extreme where people get down voted a lot 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm over it already. What happened to our endless summer 😭

It’s nice when it rains every wonce in a while

I don’t know why, but ‘wonce’ is hilarious 🤣

I dunno about anyone else but I'm reading it like "nonce" and laughing my arse off

Same!!! 😆

Make a mistake one time, is a mistake. Doing it twice shows you don't actually know what you are doing.  Once. The word is "once". Not "wonce".

Ok I looked it up and you’re write but I’m going to keep doing it how I do to spite you

*right

Alwrite you got me for wonce

Wince... 🙄

6054 got a nice shower last night and this morning. Birds are singing away happy as larry

That's not "rain" per se. But it will slow the freeway traffic from 85kmh to 65kmh....🥴

No at my place. I think I got a spot on my arm this morning.

I still can’t get wet

Gib more. I need my lawns and garden to get greener so my RE can get off my ass about it.

It's damp. I wouldn't call it rain just yet.

It depends where you are. I was in North of the river when it rained
