Last edited:Big CAPE again today for storms forming on the sea breeze boundary to work with. Rural areas in particular should see something but steer looks alright to perhaps get something into Darwin too.
Overall a big increase in storm activity over the coming days as instability steps up a notch to be more in line with what we should be seeing at this time of year.
Cells firing on the boundary now, not sure about severe but each to their own.
I'm a bit late to this thread but I have fond memories of Timber Creek. I lived there for about a year all up. Great place, back when both pubs were open. The Wayside inn was a great place. I spent more than one dawn watching the blood red sun shine on the escarpment ... with my beer in hand still at the bar.
Back then the Army had just bought Bradshaw from the McBeans, and I went over there a few times. Fantastic country, even better over the other side towards the Fitzmaurice River. Just stunning.
Brutal time of year now though!
Bit of activity around the Top end today...
I had to run over to Kununurra today to get a new hydraulic hose made up for our excavator...nice cool overcast day and raining when I got there, then a heavy rainstorm about 100klm east of the WA border.

Dad did have a small photo lab in Smith st later on but the main store was in Knuckey st opp, the post office.
Cheers i vaguely remember it near post office, def remember in Smith street, father was Joe?
The camera shop, which I worked in was in the Burnsphilp brick building on the corner of Smith st. Opp Woollies. His shop was just around the corner in Knuckey st.
thanks , I am all good now, should have chatted when i saw you in Myoko 2 years back , but i was too shy.
The 'build up from hell' continues with the temp topping 45c today out on our job....hot and dusty.
Mango Madness...
No rain anywhere else but at least were not suffering through the build up.
.Here on the GC my lawn is crispy crunchy.
Top End active this arvo...
And Darwin has recorded its 10th straight day above 35c... a record for the Airport site.
And we have a noisy storm over Timber Creek atm.
Nice one mate, been up to that lookout many times before.
Rural storms going nuts again this afternoon.
Outflow dominant thing pushing over the harbour at the moment, strong winds ahead of it.
That is a classic Top End cracker !!Outflow dominant thing pushing over the harbour at the moment, strong winds ahead of it.
Noisy outside at Timber Creek atm....
The last 2 from my donga window....
Thunderstorms away early today, maybe even for the northern suburbs @Greysrigging
Though Leanyer seems to be firmly under that dome again!
Angry lightning out there
Ha... 35mm at home today according to my son ....yehar !!Thunderstorms away early today, maybe even for the northern suburbs @Greysrigging
Though Leanyer seems to be firmly under that dome again!
Angry lightning out there
The locals pretty happy with a drop of rain at timber Creek....
Tough to get to any decent shots last night with smoke haze and low-level cloud junk ruining things. Floodplains mosquitoes the size of budgerigars always make for an enjoyable experience out there however

Cooling little guster pushing past the northern burbs at the moment.

To give some NT perspective to the unprecedented heat torturing Australia atm.... the AWS at Tindal is running at 5.1c above the monthly average at 40.7c This is an incredible reading for a station so deep in the tropics at 14.5S of latitude !
And the next 7 days show some 43's and a 44c on Boxing Day in the forecast ! Already exceeded the previous Dec maximum temp 7 times this month !
