Lhabayi - wet season proper
March, April and May

Description
Lhabayi is a period of heavy rainfall with the rain falling less violently than during Wunthurru. The monsoonal winds weaken. An unpredictable variable in the wet season are warlungarnarra (cyclones) that can occur any time between November and May. March is a common month for cyclones. Late in the wet season there are usually burrumanamala (knock him down) winds. These are windy rain storms that often flatten the high grass that has rapidly grown during the wet season.

Harvested plants and animals
Dugong and turtle are still available early in the season.
