WESTERN Australia is on track for a wetter summer than usual, with the Gascoyne, Midwest and the Wheatbelt the most likely to get a drenching according to the Bureau of Meteorology.
Releasing its seasonal climate outlook for summer today, the bureau predicted some parts of the state could see more than 200 millimetres of rain between December and the end of February.
Meteorologists based the forecast on the warm conditions in the Indian Ocean and the equatorial Pacific Ocean's cool temperatures as a result of a La Niña weather system.
The Gascoyne and southern Pilbara regions have an 80 per cent chance of a wetter than average summer. While in the Kimberley and the central part of the state the odds of a summer deluge were between 60 and 80 per cent.
Most of the state was tipped to experience warmer nights than usual, except for the Kimberley where it should be cooler.
Meanwhile the past couple of day's reprieve from hot weather would be short-lived, according to the bureau, with temperatures set to hit 29 degrees tomorrow and peak at 33 degrees on Sunday.
