Strong winds and heavy rain have kept Department of Fire and Emergency Services crews busy with 26 calls for help recorded across the Perth metropolitan area and the South West overnight.<\/p>\n

Although most of the callouts were considered minor \u2014 most involving water ingress, roof damage and fallen trees \u2014 the wild weather still left a trail of damage across suburbs across the state.<\/p>\n

In Floreat, emergency crews were called after sheets of roofing iron were left flapping dangerously in the wind along Cambridge Street. In Dianella, part of a garage ceiling collapsed, while in Meadow Springs, powerful gusts tore the roof from a garden shed, sending it crashing into a side fence and a neighbouring property.<\/p>\n

In Lesmurdie, a tree came down onto a home on Schunke Close, and in Leda, a large tree branch snapped and fell onto a fence on Whitebread Way, causing damage.<\/p>\n

The slew of callouts comes as a deep low pressure system moves across the State\u2019s coast, resulting in a deluge of rain and heavy winds.<\/p>\n

Bureau meteorologist Sarah Scully warned Sandgropers that the weekend\u2019s wild conditions could lead to thunderstorms hitting the State.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis deep low pressure system and associated cold front will bring wet and windy weather \u2014 and even a risk of a gusty thunderstorm,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Across the Perth metropolitan area, Bickley in the Perth Hills was hit with the most overnight rainfall \u2014 with the suburb\u2019s weather station recording 23.2mm of precipitation before 9am.<\/p>\n

Dwellingup, located south-east of Perth, faced the worst deluge in the State with the Bureau recording a staggering 40mm of rain over the Peel town.<\/p>\n

Visitors in the South West also face a dampener on weekend fun after hot spot Manjimup received 26.6mm of overnight rain.<\/p>\n

The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a marine wind warning for those between the Geraldton and Esperance regions.<\/p>\n

Winds in the warning zone are anticipated to reach speeds up to 60kmh, with gusts potentially hitting 120kmh.<\/p>\n

Residents along the Albany coastline may see windier conditions \u2014 with a gale force wind warning predicting wind speeds nearing 87kmh.<\/p>\n

Mains Roads has sent a strong warrning to motorists braving the road during the wild weather, urging drivers to be patient and allow extra travel time.<\/p>\n

\u201cBe aware of minor flooding across metro roads and drive to the conditions,\u201d the warning said.<\/p>\n

The cold front is expected to pass by Sunday, however rain will continue to pour over the WA capital until at least Thursday.<\/p>\n

The Department of Fire and Emergency Services advises that people in the affected area should:<\/p>\n
