PERTH — After Thursday’s alarming sunshine, Perth has given a warm welcome back to Friday’s forecast of “wet and windy”, with some residents getting the umbrellas out a full day early “to get back into it”.

“It’s like a family member coming home,” said a Letham woman, gently stroking her cagoule. “It’s not always easy. But it’s ours.”
