Nasty weather on the way for Perth with hail predicted for Thursday

If you have a mate called Noah, be nice to him - there's heavy weather on the way for Perth with a strong cold front set to hit Perth and the metropolitan area this afternoon.

A production line of strong weather fronts are moving in from the west and are expected to hit one after the other with the first predicted to bring rain and strong winds overnight.

Wet week in store for Perth

Grab the umbrella as more rain is on the cards for Perth this week.

This could potentially develop into severe weather on Wednesday morning with the chance of a thunderstorm.

The Bureau of Meteorology's spokesman Neil Bennett said this miserable line-up is known as a "westerly onshore flow" and could see hail fall on Thursday along with plummeting temperatures.

Rain and possibly hail is on the way for Perth.

"This is weather that does warrant caution and people should be prepared. It's not the worst on the scale and we do expect this kind of thing this time of year, but in the coming days we could see rainfall in the south west of the metro area of fifty to sixty millimetres," Mr Bennett said.

This bad run of wild weather comes as Perth shivers through what the bureau is predicting will be its coldest winter since 1998, barring some warmer weather at the tail end of August.

But the forecast ahead for the next six days looks like there's no chance of that.
