So, here in Perth, we have been "warmer than usual", until now!
So, the warmer weather is good, But it can also bring out "a few unexpected arrivals", PARTICULARLY UNEXPECTED AT THIS TIME OF YEAR!
Firefighters have been battling more than 30 active fires in the region, after a prescribed burn escaped containment lines and winds from the season's first strong cold front fanned flames on Thursday night.
The Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) has described it as "an unprecedented fire situation within the City of Albany".
At least one home has been lost in the town of Wellstead, east of Albany, according to Albany Mayor Dennis Wellington.
Mr Wellington said he had never seen a fire on this scale.
"I've never seen anything like it … it's just absolute mayhem," he said.
