Afternoon All,
For those who share a keen interest in the weather, some of you may have noticed the trend towards what could be one of the biggest wet seasons/summers in recent history (some are saying they haven't seen anything like this since 1974).
With a continued existence of Low pressure systems over Northern Australia for well in excess of 6 weeks to 2 months now, and a number of large troughs nearly always being around, it's made for some interesting weather indeed. Not to mention it's an absolute classic wet season weather pattern, and it's still only build-up time!
A recent check up on the BOM site suggests that we may see the North Australian Monsoon in the next 1-2 weeks. Certainly if it comes next week, then that is quite early. Not normally seen until around Christmas/New Year time. They're also suggesting the possibility of a low pressure system that's been hanging up in the Kimberly for the last few days, may move out to sea with the arrival of the NAM and form into a cyclone.
For those of you who I've just bored to death, I apologise. For those who share a keen interest in the weather, it's shaping up to be a top season

Was up in the Gulf yesterday, and was dodging some rather large cell's at 8am in the morning!
Enjoy
