Stuff We Like #11

Good morning everyone. Toni Griffin here for another version of Stuff We Like. I know my post probably isn't going to be popular with my American friends, but I'm going to post it anyway. *Chuckles*

I love the weather at this time of year. Here in Darwin, Australia we don't get four seasons like most of the rest of the world. We have to satisfy ourselves with only two. The Wet Season and the Dry Season. The dry runs from April/May through to Oct/Nov and the Wet season the opposite.

The Dry season brings with it very little rain and lovely cooler temperatures. (Well, that's the way it's supposed to work. The weather doesn't always cooperate.)

The Wet season on the other hand brings with it rain, monsoonal showers, occasionally cyclones and sometimes cooler weather. It also brings with it massive spikes in humidity on the days it doesn't actually rain. (But I'm going to ignore that fact for this post.)

I love the rain. The electrical storms we can get here are truly spectacular. Unfortunately I'm not that great of a photographer to catch any of those, so you'll have to make do with the other pics that I have.

Today it's currently 26C and we're expecting thunderstorms later this afternoon. Bring it on!
 

Leaving Work at this time of year can get a little tricky if you don't come prepared.

The storm about to hit.

Down comes the rain.

This is what our radar looks like during a couple of our massive storms.
