From the words of the late, great, Robin Williams, who played the unforgettable military deejay, Adrian Cronauer, in the movie classic, ‘Good Morning Vietnam’:

“…it’s hot, damn hot, real hot….Weather out there today is hot and shitty, with continued hot and shitty in the afternoon. Tomorrow a chance of continued crappy with a pissy weather front coming down from the north…”

It describes perfectly the Top End swelter of the ‘build-up’ before the Wet-Season graces us with its presence.

But then it rains. Bucketloads.
