[Still Waters 50,880]

Police have praised West Australian beachgoers for respecting physical distancing rules as Perth sweltered through its hottest April day on record.

Perth’s temperature reached 39.5C on Saturday, eclipsing the previous April record set in 1910.

Authorities had been on standby to close beaches given the combination of the hot weather and the Easter break.

But patrolling officers reported people were obeying the rules and practising physical distancing.
