For some readers it may not be that hot.......but a steady flow of October days, now averaging 34.3C and RH of between 75 - 55% each day is a tad draining. To top it all, today was the 4th highest temperature ever recorded in Darwin, reaching 38C. We are on the coast, and normally there is a cooling sea breeze in the afternoon.
I have been working around 100km inland south of Darwin with average maximum temperatures of 38C for this month and a "lovely" 39.5C on Monday. It is VERY hot. AND NO SEABREEZE. The sun just burns into your skin!
This is the crappy season. That hot and horrible period before it really rains.
It is described as the "month of the falling mango" also "suicide month". Even been backed by a medical study released a few months ago that proved people do more strange things in the October / November period than other parts of the year. There are more assaults, suicides, and similar crimes as people go off the rails from being too hot.
Recently we had a period of several days with storms...........and that makes it worse, as the humidity goes up, and tempers shorten accordingly.
Best not to be here.................
