Perth will be layering up this weekend as temperatures stay low across the metropolitan area, after the city shivered through the coldest morning recorded this year.
Saturday will see a partly cloudy 18C after an overnight low of just 7C.
BOM meteorologist David Crock has warned a high pressure system may cause freezing conditions including the chance of frost across the South West.
“(Saturday will be) quite a cool morning again, with some fog and frost in the mix across the south,” Mr Crock said.
“We see this ridge of high pressure, which is extending up into northern Australia as well, and bringing generally fine and settled conditions in the west.”
The mercury will climb to 19C after an 8C overnight minimum on Sunday, and there is even a small chance of rain in the afternoon and evening.
Monday will also bring a low chance of rain, with a 9C minimum and 19C maximum.
The sun returns on Tuesday and Wednesday, with both days bringing 19C maximums after overnight lows of 7C.
Sunny conditions will be short-lived, however — Thursday will bring a slightly higher maximum of 21C, and up to 8mm of rain is expected.
Friday will see a chilly 17C maximum and up to 30mm of rain heading into next weekend.
