Mandurah has received exceptional rainfall at 300% of average (83.3mm vs 14.6mm), but soil moisture remains very dry at 6.5%, indicating poor water retention or rapid runoff that limits benefits for beef, dairy, and vegetable production. The sub-region's composite score of 30 sits marginally below the Western Australia state average of 32, with both areas experiencing critically low soil moisture despite recent precipitation. While fire risk appears elevated given WA's 9,092 hotspot detections over seven days, the immediate flooding risk from excessive rainfall may pose greater concern for vegetable crops and dairy operations in low-lying areas.
