Looks like darwin is going to get some decent rain at last. Been a brutal couple of weeks up here. You see some weird stuff up here in the mango madness.

An early cyclone forecasted for middle of December also.

[mickey]

I reckon it just dropped 10degrees in semaphore

[GWW]

Looks like cool change might be coming through a little earlier than predicted.

About able hour too early for my liking... with the way the temp was climbing and a compulsory knock off of work @ 38 I should of been home by now

[dedja]

It's still going to be hot, probably high 30's, just not quite to 40 as expected.

Currently 33.3 in Adelaide.

[dedja]

35.4 now and climbing ...

[Ron Burgundy]

42.4 here in the sunny Riverland at the moment.

good point, Amanda Vanstone!

[The Dark Knight]

Pfft. Dry heat.

You're up in NT aren't you SG?

I prefer the dry heat to it being humid, so much easier to get used to I reckon. Been a tough week working outside in the heat, you get used to it pretty quickly though.

[Ron Burgundy]

I prefer the dry heat too, but once we start getting to 42+ i rather Darwins weather.
