The wet season is awesome. Majestic displays of heavenly firepower, towering thunderheads late in the afternoons, deep grey skies layered in deepening shades with the dark grey of rain often at the bottom.
While the last few days have been relatively drier, with little rain, the thunderheads still build late each day. Hecta is alive and well!
Hecta - a derivative from hectapascal - is the name given, by the Met bureau, to the regular build up of heavy monsoonal storm clouds most days across to the north and west of Darwin on the Tiwi Islands.
Where would we be without rain? And at this time of the year, the rain brings cooler relief from the heat and stifling humidity of the day.
