As you are likely aware the Top End wet season is
in full swing. There have been some spectacular storms in and around
Darwin over the last two months.
Predictions are a plenty as to the sort of season
we will get ranging from "Average" to "up to 12 cyclones in Northern
Waters" Either way we will be keeping a close eye on things and
hoping for some exciting action.
Darwin's weather community has
really evolved over the last couple of years with some absolutely
amazing photos and video being produced by weather enthusiasts,
photographers and casual observers - Some of which we will be
featuring regularly this season. If you have any photos or video
please submit them, we would love to show off your work. Just pop us
an email from the contact page.
Stay posted for more updates
and visual stimulation...
Many thanks to
BSCH (Brisbane Storm Chasers) who run a number of 'weather cams'
around Australia. Recently installed hardware in Darwin now gives
everyone the opportunity to keep an eye on the weather. Many thanks
to and X-Weather Live (Jason Harris) for his work organising these
cameras. Including
historical images, automatic time-lapse, and long exposure pictures
at night provides a fantastic resource to the weather enthusiast
community.
