TC Carlos - an update

Today was mostly dry, although more rain, albeit not as heavy, tonight, as the now ex cyclone has moved to the SW away from Darwin. The sun even peeped out and that was good for the solar hot water system!

But the fat lady has not sung and it ain't over yet.......

Lots more rain now, in areas S of Darwin and tonight Adelaide River township has flooded, and residents near the Darwin River Dam look likely to have some inundation as the spillway of the dam has overflowed, and that could continue for days yet.

This now tropical low [ ex tropical cyclone Carlos] should bring heavy rain to the areas in the 70 - 150km south of Darwin and across to the west into the Victoria River region. Forecast maps show it crossing back over the sea and re-intensifying, although continuing to move west.
