.: October 2008 :.
Darwin and surrounds has seen
a hotter and wetter month than usual this October. Rainfall
for October is 125.4mm with 60.6mm falling on the 15th.
The October-December period
has a predicted probability of up to 70%of exceeding the median
temperature for the period and rainfall predicted to be upwards of
60% higher than usual for the period.
Due to the lower than usual Sea Surface temperatures to the north
and warming in the central and southeastern Indian Ocean
it is tipped to bring a more active cyclone season.
Stay tuned for more as the season unfolds. . .
Danny.
