The Northern Australian Monsoon is in full swing atm....in fact Darwin Airport is having the eighth wettest 'Wet' since records began in 1941.
Here is the data for selected coastal towns along the Northern coastline. Could you... would you.... live in a tropical paradise as depicted here ?
Kalumburu, a remote and isolated Aboriginal community about as far North as possible in Western Australia. Formerly the Drysdale River Mission, the site had a RAAF Airbase during WW2 that was bombed by the Japs with loss of life and material damage. The record low ( -0.1c ) in 2008 is an obvious error in recording, the max temps on the 3 days around the date in August 2008 were 33.1c, 34.3c and 32.6c, so an error on the AWS recording and should be ignored. Having said that older records back to 1965 ( the greatest cold infusion to the deep north of Australia ) had a couple of confirmed 2c minimum temps.
Port Keats ( Wadeye ) is an Aboriginal community on the west coast of the Northern Territory about 450klm South West of Darwin. An important radar station during WW2. I had an Uncle stationed here ( he was a RAAF mechanic ) in 1943/44.
Darwin Airport... in the 'sweet spot' for monsoonal rains and epic storms. Records at the Airport since 1941, although some missing data in 1942 due to Jap air raids.
Maningrida, a large Aboriginal community 400klm to the East of Darwin.... you can see the reduction in average rainfall as you travel East along the Northern coast.
Weipa, over on the West coast of Cape York Peninsular. Home to massive bauxite mine and the largest town up on the Cape
