Western Power has crews on standby to respond to any outages and restore power as quickly as possible with thunderstorms predicted over coming days.
The rain looks set to ease by Friday.
The wet weather wasn't seen this early last year, with sunny skies and 30-degree days on the forecast for the South West during the first week of March 2020.
