We’re weeks away from summer in WA yet the state’s south was freezing overnight with several towns dipping below zero.

It would have been a struggle to rise in Salmon Gums, about 100km north of Esperance, as the mercury fell to -1.2C.

In Bridgetown the minimum was -0.8C and in Newdegate it dropped to -0.7C, while several other towns recorded minus temperatures.

Generally, minimum temperatures were about 10C below average - however the Bureau of Meteorology noted it quickly warmed up.

Perth’s weather is definitely warming up - while Wednesday’s top will only be 23C, by Friday the temperature will peak at 32C.

That vein of warm weather is expected to continue into early next week.
