It is hot, little cloud, high humidity, burning near direct overhead sun, and every time there is a shower of rain, the humidity goes up a few notches, breezes are low to non existent...........I could go on for some time.
In Darwin, this period is "madness month" or month of the falling mango, as it coincides with peak mango harvest - say October to mid December. Once rain is more regular, and clouds increase, it does cool somewhat, with the increased cloud cover an important factor.
At the moment while we still have residual humidity here in Darwin.......it just will not go away this year, maybe this weekend.....I wondered how the recent troubles in Thailand have been influenced by THEIR pre wet season, hot weather?
Songkran [ Water Festival/ Buddhist New Year] is mid April........that is early in the build up.
It has been quite hot and steamy in Thailand since then, with not too much cooling rain so far.............surely this must be influencing [badly] decision making?
One has to remember that other parts of the world also cop crappy weather before the monsoon.
