Been a long time since a forecast in the 32c's/33c's. Not convinced myself unless the inland storms make it as far as the coast and the cloud cover keeps the temps down. Been over 120mm inland over the last 2 days....we've missed out here in the 'Burbs, the max temp today was 34.8c at 3.08pm  |

What difference a day makes ! This time yesterday was stifling 35.8c heat, 24 hours later we've struggled to 26c under heavy overcast skies. Rained all day so far for 2mm since 9.00am. Bring on the Wet !!  Notes/- the record cold November day was 25.6c in 2010 |

After yesterdays cool overcast day, we're back to your typical 'build up' type heat. 34.5c max today. My lawn mower shit itself, so a quick trip to the dump shop, found the bits I needed for $3.00 and back mobile/mobile. Win/win !  |

What’s the highest dew point Darwin usually gets in a year? Lots of your observations have very oppressive 26-28 c dews.

I think there was about a 30c dew back in January this year....the 26-28's are about the norm ( unfortunately ) in the weeks leading up to the first monsoonal impact along the northern coast. Ah yes, here it is....  |
