Forecast

The barometric pressure in Darwin varies throughout the year. It is influenced by the city's proximity to the equator. The pressure is affected by the movement of the Intertropical Convergence Zone.

Darwin is surrounded by the Timor Sea to the west and the Arnhem Land plateau to the east. The sea breeze has a cooling effect on the city. The plateau traps warm air, causing pressure changes.

The city's flat coastal plain also contributes to the pressure variations. Sea winds blowing from the northwest bring high pressure. Conversely, southeasterly winds from the Coral Sea bring low pressure.

As a result, Darwin experiences a distinct wet and dry season. The wet season, from November to March, is characterized by low pressure. The dry season, from April to October, is marked by high pressure.
