Driest May in 55 years for Perth

Graeme Brittain, Saturday June 1, 2019 - 12:47 AEST

Western Australia's capital city has just registered its second-driest May on record.

Only 17.8mm was collected last month, which is less than 20% for the long term average (90.3mm).

Perth's observational data records go back to 1876.

Climate models are suggesting that the following three winter months are only a low chance of seeing above average rainfall.

The first stop on the Challenger Series (the lesser format of the Championship Tour) will take place along the Gold Coast’s premier surf point breaks, starting this morning and running to Saturday May 4th.
