Dry start to the wet while the south swelters– the Northern Territory in November 2006

The Top End experienced a dry start to the wet season, while hot conditions prevailed in the south.
The latest Northern Territory monthly climate summary contains the details.

The Bureau of Meteorology expects to issue an annual climate statement for the Northern Territory on the afternoon of Wednesday 3 January 2007 (along with the December summary).

These climate summaries have replaced media releases as the Bureau of Meteorology's main collation of such information. The summaries will normally be issued on the first working day of each month, once all the relevant observations are received (for example, maximum temperatures for the last day of the month are not available before the thermometers are checked at 9 am on the 1st). The summaries will cover what has happened across the whole Territory. An archive of earlier months is available at www.bom.gov.au/climate/current/month/nt/archive/, with an archive of earlier seasons at www.bom.gov.au/climate/current/season/nt/archive/
