Heavy late-season storms continue in NT Top End |
The weak monsoonal trough of the NT North Coast appears to have been enhanced by the development of a weak middle-level low today, bringing some heavy showers and thunderstorms to the Top End. Heavy falls were recorded as far inland as Batchelor, where 95mm fell in a heavy late-afternoon storm. In Darwin, 36.8mm was recorded at the airport in 40 minutes to 10pm, with 77mm recorded between 9pm and midnight. Over the 24 hours to 9am Tuesday, the airport recorded 128mm in the automatic gauge and 123.4 in the check gauge, quite heavy totals for so late in the season. Many Darwin suburbs also recorded 24 hour totals of more than 100mm. Details of other heavy falls are in the extremes box below and 24 hour totals for Tuesday 11 April. |
