Travelling to the Top End during the Wet Season is a unique adventure. Characterised by hot, humid days, the afternoon usually delivers a cracking storm. The city adopts a slower, laid-back pace, and locals enjoy the balmy temperatures outdoors with spectacular sunsets. Expect very few indoor activities, though! This season offers a window of nature that locals and the adventurous favour: abundant wildlife, powerful waterfalls, full rivers, refreshing rains and a lush green landscape.

May officially starts the 'dry season' in the Top End. The temperatures are cooler, and the humidity drops. Rain becomes less frequent, and rivers start to recede.
