Perth has recorded its wettest November on record — and we’re only halfway through.

As of 5pm today, heavy showers had dumped 76mm of rainfall in the first two weeks of the month.

The downpour has trumped the 1984 November rainfall record of 73.2mm.

More than three times the November rainfall average of 23mm has been recorded so far, and four times the 2019 November average of 18.4mm.

Perth has also recorded its coldest start to November in eight years, with three days where the temperature didn’t get above 19C.
