Speaker 1: trio season below twenty degrees in Darwin. Yes, they reached

15
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: recorded just after six or six point thirty this morning.

16
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: I'm in Darwncy. Yeah, very pleasant around.

17
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was lovely, always nice when that those temperatures

18
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: dip a little bit lower than twenty. How cool did

19
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: it get in some of our other town centers around

20
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: the place.

21
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, it got quite cool pretty much right across the

22
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: top end, we've been seeing sort of temperatures sort of

23
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,839
Speaker 1: around two to three degrees below average. Nudama I had

24
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: fourteen degrees overnight. Catherine recorded twelve degrees. That's down on

25
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: the Gulf. Actually, Bori Lula recorded minimum of eight degrees,

26
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: which is yeah, quite cool, about sort of eight degrees

27
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: below what they usually record sort of this time of year.

28
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: They're quite cool in some places.

29
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. Are they any kind of records set there or

30
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 2: is that just you know, every now and then we

31
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 2: get those temperatures that get that low.

32
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, no records just yet, but yeah, just some really

33
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: pleasant conditions, especially yeah, for those up and about quite

34
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: early in the morning.

35
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 2: Now, I know that we do always expect that the

36
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: weather's going to be beautiful in the dry season, but

37
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: is this is this caused by something at this point

38
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: in time, because seemed to be particularly nice.

39
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: He does. Yes, there's a quite a strong high pressure

40
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: system in the Great Australian Bite, so over the years

41
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: or south of the NT so we're getting quite cool

42
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 1: and originably strong southeasterly winds at the moment. So it's

43
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: for those areas around the coast as well. We're not

44
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: really seeing that humidity coming back with the sea breeze

45
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: during the afternoon, so the evenings have been quite dry

46
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: and pleasant and that's allowed Yeah, that temperature to really

47
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: cool down overnight, so we are expecting this high to

48
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: continue moving east. So over the next couple of days,

49
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: those southeasterly winds are expected to start weakening, and the

50
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: coastal areas we'll start seeing a bit of a sea

51
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: breeze coming in during the afternoon. So over the next

52
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 1: couple of days, this might start feeling a bit more

53
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: humid around the coastal areas, but still it's going to

54
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: be very pleasant over inland areas.

55
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 2: So I'm gathering from what you're saying there, Chris, is

56
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 2: that those temperatures might go up a little bit, but

57
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 2: it's still going to be fairly good weather.

58
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly right, Katie. So looking at a maximum of

59
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: the maximum temperature is not really expecting to shift too much.

60
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, those minimums are expected to climb into the

61
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: for Darwen anyway, climb into the below twenties as we

62
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 1: head further into the week. And yeah, with that humidity

63
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: starting to increase a little bit around the coastal areas,

64
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: so inland temperatures we'll also start going up a little

65
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: bit as well.

66
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, but of course it is early in the dry season.

67
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 2: Hopefully we'll get another another bout of days below twenty

68
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 2: degrees at some point.

69
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: That's it. We've only just started, so there's plenty more

70
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: to come, I think. Or the average for Darwen I

71
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: think is about fifty six fifty seven nights below twenty

72
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: I think. So we've hit two. There's plenty more to come.

73
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: Good stuff. And just for our friends in Catherine, the

74
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 2: temperatures there, as you mentioned, they've been quite low.

75
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: They have been. Yeah, the temperatures overnight have been very cool. So,

76
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: like I said, twelve degrees four car sorry that recorded

77
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: this morning, and yeah, yesterday had a minimum of eleven

78
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: so has been quite cool. Expecting a maximum of thirty

79
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: one degrees in Catherine today and I could see another

80
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: cool night tonight as well, with a minimum of eleven

81
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: or twelve as well.

82
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 2: And Chris, just for our friends in Alice Springs who

83
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 2: are listening this morning online, what's the weather been like there?

84
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, Catherine saw their coolest night of the year overnight,

85
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: so a minimum of zero point nine degrees just after

86
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: six o'clock this morning, so it's been very cool down

87
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: in the southern parts of the territory. We're looking at

88
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: a maximum of nineteen degrees there today, sunny conditions continuing

89
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: and over the next couple of days. Yeah, there might

90
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: be a little bit of morning frost around in the morning,

91
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: but just like the top end, we're expecting those temperatures

92
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: to slowly start increasing as we head into the week

93
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: as well.

94
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 2: Goodness may so Alice springs zero point nine degrees this morning,

95
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 2: it was yes.

96
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: And yeah, we could even see a cooler night tonight,

97
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: so yeah we could as a risk, we could seek

98
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,799
Speaker 1: drop below the zero degree mark. So yeah, definitely rugging

99
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: up tonight down through the Red Center.

100
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I reckon they will be well. Chris Kent, It's

101
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 2: always good to catch up with you. Thank you so

102
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 2: very much for your time this morning. Just briefly, any

103
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 2: warnings or anything we need to be aware of.

104
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: No, we've got a marine wind warning which has been

105
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: canceled this morning, so the Rouper Group coast, we've seen

106
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: winds are up around thirty nine this morning, but since

107
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: then we've started to see those easing, So twenty five

108
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: notes across most of our crustal waters. I will sort

109
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: of just mention as well, there's quite a lot of

110
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: bushfire smoke out across the top end at the moment,

111
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: so for people, yeah, with breathing difficulties, it's definitely something

112
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on as well as especially across

113
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,559
Speaker 1: the western top end. Lot of fires burning at the moment.

114
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, there is. Have your puffer nearby, is my advice.

115
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 2: If you're asthmatic like May.

116
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: That's it.

00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,479
