If you dont get rain at christmas then I for one will be shocked and this will make the weather even more strange.
This year it has been colder and drier when it shouldnt be and wet too at strange times.

it's oldschool darwin weather - havent had a year like since before 2000 :)

when the wet went for the period the calendar said it's meant to(and a bit longer) and when the dry was actually COLD. it's brilliant! bring on more!

It used to always rain on xmas, didnt last xmas though.. did for at least 6 years befor that.. or around the same time if it wasn't on the day.
