G'day,
Monsoonal Climates can be highly variable. This is particularly so when
looking at the beginning of the season. In the lists for Weipa below,
extracted from the BOM site the first figure is January and the second
December because of where we start the new year so read them backwards you
clever people. There is for instance a lot of difference between 859.6 mm
and 40.9 mm, particularly if you are the 'wrong' side of a river when 200 mm
falls overnight. Weipa is not a particularly wet place either!

Lockhart River is on the other side of the Cape, 462.3 mm is a lot of rain
for one day even in that part of the world!
