Thousands of properties in Western Australia have had their power supplies restored after a second storm in four days, with the cold front passing without serious incident.

Residents across south-western WA, including Perth, had been urged to prepare for damaging winds overnight and this morning, with the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) issuing a severe weather warning.

The warning followed a storm which lashed Perth and the South West on Saturday and left thousands of property owners cleaning up.

However, while the latest storm produced heavy winds and rain, there was little apparent damage.

Western Power said early on Tuesday morning that about 4,000 customers in Perth and the South West lost power during the storm.

About 1,800 of those were in Perth, with affected suburbs including Rockingham, Bayswater and Innaloo.

In the South West, around 1,500 properties were without power, including in Margaret River, Busselton and Bunbury.

Several hours later, Western Power said all of the affected properties were back online.

The Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) said there had been limited damage.

"We've had 104 calls but I would expect once daylight comes and people start wandering around they'll see a bit more damage," DFES chief superintendent Steve Johnson told ABC 720 Perth.

"But obviously it hasn't been quite as severe as Saturday morning."

The State Emergency Service said it received a handful of calls to help repair leaking roofs.

The BoM said a wind gust of 102 kilometres per hour was recorded at Cape Leeuwin at 1:20am.

Earlier, there was a gust of 100 kilometres per hour at Busselton Jetty, and 96 kilometres per hour on Rottnest Island.

Witchcliffe, near Margaret River, recorded 40.4 millimetres of rain in the 12 hours from 9:30pm last night, while Perth had 23.6 millimetres.

The severe weather warning, along with a road weather alert for Perth, has been cancelled.

"Showers and isolated thunderstorms are still occurring in some areas but damaging winds are no longer expected," the BoM said.
