Darwin CBD has just been hit by a very intense thunderstorm which has formed out of a very low moisture profile, checked radar and sat about two hours ago and their was nothing. Same thing happened last night i think, though it wasnt like this. No severe weather warning, but it definately ended up being severe as it swept the city. Rain has started to slow now, would have been about 10mm all up.

and here is the timelapse of the downpour that hit the CBD this afternoon

Angry storm inbound....

Darwin weather for April has been unusually dry though today is going to be the last day of dry weather till the dry season proper in 2 weeks, a tropical low is now making a westward track across the northern nt coastline with storm fronts most likley to start arriving in the cbd from tomorrow night.

low appears to have stalled a bit further east pushing back the arrival of rain for about 24 hours till tomorrow night, some showers could still develope around the darwin area in the morning

still minimal rainfall on the darwin 256km loop though early signs of banding are appearing on satellite to the east

the low has now detached from alot of convetion that has headed se though a weak line appears to be forming on radar this afternoon that is semi attached to the low well north of darwin

big storm line inbound very impressive to look

Darwin got a huge drenching today

we are getting a large humidity spike tonight

its was 29% at 1pm and at 11:30pm it is 89%
