F-, man. The temperatures are the same as southern Puerto Rico, except the huge extremes in precipitation made me give this city an F-. Interesting phenomenon of going troppo. Probably explains why Ponce (and, apparently, Darwin) has such a high crime rate
Article mentions stuff like "losing sleep; you will not sleep as well as during the dry."
I think that the main reason people lose sleep is a personal preference;
they hate feeling sweaty, so that feeling of hate keeps them awake, I suspect.

I can sleep just fine being sweaty, if I want to.
It depends...
In my case, I know I'd sleep well, in spite of the rain pouring over my head - music indeed - LOL. I take it you've never been as far north as Darwin because if you had then you'd certainly be singing an different tune :-)

You can sleep well in heat?
^^ All of the northern hemisphere is north of Darwin.
I've seen the stats for Darwin and it looks much like the US Deep South usually.
Many City-Data members who live there love to complain about their heat and humidity, "endless 105-110 F heat indexes" etc.
but I have visited the US Deep South many times and enjoy that kind of weather.
Sometime it would be interesting to go,
to see how it compares with my experiences in the southern US summer.

Are you talking Darwin summers vs. US South summers? If you are, pretty much nowhere in the US east of the Rockies, outside of Texas, has a monthly average temp of 84.7F. That is from the Australian BOM monthly avg temp for Darwin in November(warmest month). Interestingly enough, Galveston, Texas actually beats Darwin's hottest month by a hair. August average montly temp for Galveston is 84.8F. San Antonio even more so and I guess from there on down to Brownsville is hotter than Darwin in summer. So, if you haven't been to S. Texas in summer, then you won't be able to match Darwin heat.

Let me rephrase that...
I've spent countless summer days in the Deep South,
including week-long 97 F spells and the odd 98 F days on the SC coast
the odd days into the low 100's F in the central parts of the Carolinas and DC.
I've enjoyed all of that; even their August weather that was well above seasonal.
Darwin's climate should be more stable for temps than Carolinian summer.
I imagine it would be like unseasonal heat that just doesn't fade (in Darwin's hottest months)
I have also seen a lot of 86-90 F (30-32 C) temperatures just past sunset combined with 27-28 C (80-83 F) dewpoints on the coast.
Darwin's coolest months would be mildish for Southern summer and uncharacteristically-dry.
It's not always like a heat wave in SC there.
Their annual average is probably close to the August average of Myrtle Beach.
