A brief late-Spring spell of heat for the west

Anthony Duke, Tuesday November 25, 2014 - 13:04 AEDT

After a mild couple of weeks, Perth is set for a couple of hot days and nights.

Today a deepening trough over western parts of WA will bring hot easterlies from the Nation's interior. The easterly winds will cause the mercury to rise quickly from 24 degrees just after 9am to a forecast maximum of 36 degrees by the middle of this afternoon.

Temperatures will struggle to fall away overnight into Tuesday, as increased cloud cover and persistent easterlies should keep temperatures above the minimum of 23 degrees. This will be the first muggy night of the season and the warmest since February.

Wednesday will also be warm with the city likely to reach towards the mid-thirties. It could feel a little humid at times too, with the nearby trough providing moisture in the form of showers and thunderstorms. These are most likely to affect northern suburbs which could collect between 10 and 25mm.

Milder temperatures are set to return from Friday with a dry weekend also on the cards, as the trough moves away eastwards.
