The Build Up!

Darwin un like the rest of the country only has two seasons.

The Dry - Darwin's winter, the city is busy and it's tourist season.

The Wet - It's summer and it's wet

And then there is THE BUILD UP!!!

That's now until the wet starts.

From September, imagine 90% humidity at 6 a.m. (and that’s the lowest it gets) with no rain relief until the monsoons hit in December/January. It’s like walking around with a 10-ton block of concrete on your shoulders, and even breathing is an effort.

So yesterday I was out for coffee after work and as we sat and watch the world pass by the sky slowly changed from blue and sunny to black... And then the rain came.... and 15 minutes later it was all over. Then again this afternoon the same thing.... The Build Up.
