Darwin and Northern Territory

Sun, sun and more sun, interrupted only by the occasional tropical downpour.

For six months of the year Darwin has a climate which would be very difficult to beat anywhere in the world.  This fantastic weather is the main reason why many of us live here, it means that you can lead a very outdoor oriented lifestyle without worrying about rain. You can plan a BBQ years ahead;-) During the Dry Season, from May through to October, Darwin is the place to be. From May to October rainfall is virtually nil and the days are mostly cloudless with temperatures in the low 30s C (85^º - 90^ºF). Nights are cool and balmy with low humidity and temperatures in the high teens C  (65^º - 80^ºF).

Darwin has some of the most spectacular sunsets you will see anywhere on planet earth. Every evening  the sun sinks into the Arafura sea with a fantastic light show.

Tourists stand in awe watching the changing colours as daylight slips into a very short twilight. Most locals however, take this phenomenon in their stride and simply open up another beer:-) I will add some lovely examples here soon:-)
