Its been an absolute ball tearer of a wet season along the far eastern coast of the NT. Coupla tropical cyclones and vigorous monsoonal troughs really delivered big time this season. The region can vary significantly season to season with rainfall often sporadic and highly dependent on Gulf of Carpentaria tropical depressions.
An automated weather station run by the Bureau of Meteorology has been operating on the island since 1968
I worked on the mainland directly opposite the Islands during the '94-'95 wet season ( at Bing Bong Port ) and have done a fair bit of fishing around the islands.

C+, only 3 unliveable months, Jackoffuary, Fuckuary and Farch. The other 4 months look like stellar summer months.

That January has more rain than March

On average, yes. Not in 2023-2024 though, which is what Greys asked us to rate.

A bit too warm lows for the daily highs, but I'm sure there was lots of storms to boot, makes up for it

Also, a more evenly distributed precipitation pattern would be better.
