YESTERDAY was typically warm in western and southern WA after a cold morning, but that's all about to change.
Showers, storms and a gusty, colder wind change will move through the region during the next few days. The showers and storms will be fairly patchy but should bring the first rain in more than a month to parts of the wheat belt and goldfields.
Some of the storms may be severe with damaging winds the most likely feature. Large hail is a chance too but the storms will generally travel too fast to bring significant flash flooding.
So far this month cold mornings and warm, sunny days is something that residents are getting used to.
Those in Newdegate have had a particularly difficult time knowing what to wear on most days.
Yesterday it was as cold as five degrees in the morning and as warm as 32 in the afternoon, a rise of 27 degrees.
This has been typical in the this month with 10 days bringing a temperature range of more than 20 degrees.
On Saturday the 9th it warmed to 34 degrees after an early morning minimum of just three.
The normal October daily temperature range is seven to 23 degrees, which is where it is heading later this week.
