And being able to grow every known palm tree in existence along with huge thunderstorms. As a palm tree fan, streetviews of Darwin are a wet dream. In many of those streetviews you can also see the monster 50-60,000ft CB towers against the royal blue sky. The stuff of legend.
Darwin is host to "Hector", one of the world's most legendary and most clockwork reliable thunderstorm cells, which form over the Tiwi Islands like clockwork every afternoon from Oct to Jan, due to colliding seabreezes. This thing often reaches 60,000ft and there have been documented occurrences of over 70,000ft. Epic and legendary beyond all reasonable human comprehension.
There is a weather station at "Darwin harbor", current lows are around 29C and highs 32C. Inland suburbs are up to 37-40C daily. All this with massive CB porn and the guarantee of huge electrical storms in the near future as the wet season ramps up. One of the world's best kept secrets.

An unusual snowfall about 20 km inland from here two nights ago. Locations such as Orinoco and Ngatimoti had 3-4 inches on the ground at around 11:00pm. It's only around 50-100 metres above sea level, so quite unusual. It hasn't even made the local news here, and there are plenty of naysayers that say it didn't happen. I've talked to three people who witnessed it and they are adamant it was snow, not hail or grapuel. Seems like it came down in a short period, and then was washed away by heavy rain.
Massive hailstorm in Tunuyan, Mendoza, yesterday. The sloppes of Mendoza Andes are known as one the regions of the planet with the most hailstorms. Photos:

Well I assume it stalled somewhere between Curico and Santiago, I was in Santiago and it felt relatively warm, even at night! Curico seems like a very beautiful place from the bus
