Western Australia's first month of spring was anything but straightforward.

The state experienced a mixed bag of weather, from unusually heavy rain inland to sudden bursts of summer-like heat.

Photos from our viewers from the month of September perfectly illustrate just how different WA's climate can be from one end of the state to the other.

The month began against the backdrop of a notably dry winter for a large part of the state.

The first major downpour didn't deliver the rain to Perth or the South West, but hundreds of kilometres inland.

A slow-moving trough drew tropical moisture into the Goldfields and the Interior, producing widespread cloud, rain and thunderstorms across the area.
