After a record hot day in Perth on Saturday, the following 24 hours were the wettest in September since 1988.
Change of weather in Perth
Nestled in Western Australia, Perth received rain of 36 mm also cooled temperatures around the western capital, with the maximum only climbing to 22 degrees on Sunday from astounding 34.5 degrees on Saturday.
Relief in Queensland
For 75 percent of Queensland that has been declared drought hit, sudden showers over the weekend were welcomed by the farmers in central and central western areas of the state.
Further ahead, a few sunny days are likely before the next chance for showers in the next couple of days.
Rain during this time had been critically needed to get some pasture growth before winter sets in.
