Weather, Climate and Site News

Australia Tue 25 Sep 2018 Wadeye NT smashes "dry" season records. Port Keats Airport, just outside the town of Wadeye, 200km NE of Wyndham WA, received a remarkable downpour this afternoon with 43.4mm falling in under an hour to 1520CST. A wet season-like 36.4mm thundered down in the 20 minutes to 1450CST. In its 16 years of operation, the top daily September fall at the airport's weather station has been 12.6mm back in 2003, while its wettest whole month of September on record was 2016 with 15.8mm. Port Keats' average September rainfall is 3.1mm while their median is a mere 0.4.

Earlier in the day, Darwin was also hit by a downpour that gave 19.2mm in 21 minutes to 0100CST, for a storm total of 29.6. That's not so unusual for Darwin as it's farther north, but still an early arrival for the stormy season.

Despite this, the Bureau's mid-month climate outlook indicates a strong likelihood that rainfall across most of northern Queensland and the Northern Territory will be below average during the October–December period.
