6.00AM FRIDAY UPDATE: A severe weather warning issued for last night as the remnants of Cyclone Iggy crossed the coast has been cancelled.

At 4.15am the remains of ex-Tropical Cyclone Iggy was popping across the coast south of Geraldton and producing areas of rain over western parts of the Southwest Land Division.

The Bureau of Meteorology says the low will continue to weaken as it moves inland. Areas of rain and strong winds are still likely, but heavy rain and damaging winds are no longer expected.

Heavy rain did fall in spots over the past 12 hours and susceptible areas may still be experiencing local flooding.

The 19.8mm that has fallen in Perth since 9am yesterday brings the monthly tally to 25mm – already more than the 12.6mm long-term average for the whole month of February.

Lancelin has recorded 98mm of rain since 3pm Thursday.

Higher than normal tides are expected along the west coast.

The State Emergency Service has received four calls for help – from Stirling, Gosnells, Bayswater and Wanneroo.

Most of the callers needed repairs to minor roof leaks.

The Bureau has forecast patchy rain clearing later this afternoon, and a maximum of 29 degrees.
