The Bureau of Meteorology said a strong cold front moved over the South West, bringing downpours and high gusts.
Gusts of 96km/h were recorded at Rottnest Island at midday before the cold front swept east in the early afternoon.
More than 24mm of rain was dumped on Mandurah in the space of an hour as local sports matches were called off.
The Department of Fire and Emergency Services said SES volunteers were dispatched to homes hit by minor flood damage across the region.
Ten minor crashes were reported on Perth roads by 2pm, with flooding reported at Mounts Bay Road and Mitchell Freeway.
The front continues to move east and will lie near Southern Cross to Esperance this evening and will continue to weaken.
Dangerous gusts are no longer expected, although some squally conditions with possible heavy falls will continue overnight, particularly near the south coast where small hail is possible.
