We've just had a week of summer weather and too welcome it, it felt like the whole country was thunderstorm after thunderstorm day after day...

Beautiful pics

Thunderstorms like that are rare here. We get about one a year, I think. At the moment, snow is dumping on us, and it's -14C, so if you want to chill out...

I'd just spent a week in Darwin
, the humidity there is something too be experienced.... shirt is wet almost constantly

I'd heard of a condition , 'Mango Madness', where people go a bit silly because of the humidity up there



After being there I can understand why

I don't understand why anyone lives in Darwin, except for work. Every time I read about it, the difficult climate is mentioned - do we have any Darwiners who can explain it?

Mango madness: the news.au article is hard to understand. I mean, I understand all the words and sentences, but why do they say that facial injuries are numerous in Darwin because of heat and lack of rain, 'and only Greenland is worse'?

Ok, maybe I didn't understand it and am just too dumb; but does it seem scientific to compare NT with Greenland?
