Happy Monsoon Frog

A weather change is wonderful, and we have a monsoon!!

Late, yes and expected to be a short burst, but it is a monsoon.  For so long it has been hanging out north of the Australian coast and bringing unusual heavy rain to Singapore in January and February.

Even the infamous Edith River bridge might have been flooded, and no doubt there will be some water flowing out of the Mt Todd minesite downstream for a few days while the river is flowing strongly.

Around the Top End - rainfalls of 50 - 100mm have been recorded.

AND........the clouds are in, and the temperature a more bearable 28 - 30C, not the hot violent blast of bright sunshine and 34C.  What a difference a few degrees can make.

Bring it on.
