meh, this is kindergarten compared to the Kimberely region of Australia....

B .... only because the dry may get a bit boring. In the wet, awesome lightning storms, mostly in November and December, In Jan and Feb it degrades to mostly showers and rain periods with sunshine rivalling a Melbourne winter. In a bad season, rainfall can exceed 1000mm a month as it did last Feb.

I would still rather live in darwin than this hell hole : Winnipeg Climate Guide, Manitoba

[dunno what to put here]

I'd take Winnipeg over Darwin any day, but even Winnipeg's summers are too warm for my liking.

I'd live half the year in Winnipeg and half the year in Darwin - only problem is that Darwin's winter and Winnepeg's summer both occur at the same time!!!

In a climate battle thread between Winnipeg and Darwin, most people would choose Winnipeg. Even for cold haters, Winnipeg is pretty tolerable from March to November.

I don't know if I can tolerate the blazing sun and scorching tropical heat 365 days a year. That would be too much.

In my case, hardly.
I'd do ANYTHING to avoid even a single -8 C/18 F morning.
Winnipeg can see that every month except Jun-Aug.

"Tolerable" for me begins when daytime highs exceed 60 F; scarce in most of Canada 6-8 months a year.

I already only enjoy Toronto reliably from mid-late May to mid-September.
Winnipeg, I'd take another 1-2 months away for comfort.
