Darwin, like the rest of the Top End, has a tropical climate, with a wet and a dry season. It receives heavy rainfall during the Wet, and is well-known for its spectacular lightning. Darwin records over 3000 lightning strikes a year within 20 miles of the city center and is called the lightning capital of the world by many meteorologists.
Perth M5-Your so right about the lightning there mate! Lots of coastal road flooding too in the wet season.
