Winter is coming: Rain and possible storms forecast for Mandurah

The Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) has also issued a call to residents to prepare their homes against storm damage with the severe weather expected this weekend.

DFES acting commissioner operations Gary Gifford said winter's first storm might catch people unaware after the South West experienced its driest January to May on record.

"I'd encourage residents to do the following three things at a minimum - tie down any loose items in your yard such as sheds and trampolines, clean leaves out of your gutters, and trim branches near roofs and powerlines," he said.

"Dangerous storms are the most common natural hazard in Australia causing tens of millions of dollars in damage each year, and yet we estimate 70 to 80 per cent of damage is preventable.

"Planning and preparation is key to staying safe and reducing damage to your property."
