Friday 1 October 2010  - Seasonal Climate Summary for Northern Territory - Product code IDCKGC22R0

Dry Season (May to September 2010):

Wet Northern Territory - hot in the north, cool in the south

Rainfall was above average to well above average throughout most of the Northern Territory during the season. Maximum temperatures were above normal over the Top End and below average in the south. The minimum temperatures remained above average over most of the Territory.

La Niña and the NT dry season

The weather across the NT during the season was partly driven by changes in sea surface temperature as a result of the strong La Niña event that developed during the season. Above average sea surface temperatures in the Timor and Arafura Seas and in the Eastern Indian Ocean brought above average rainfall to the whole region. The warm ocean surrounding the Top End helped to keep the temperatures in the Darwin-Daly district above normal for most of the season. The La Niña conditions in place now are very similar to that of the 1998/1999 and the 1974/1975 La Niña events with comparable effects on the NT weather.
