Regional guide: Northern Territory weather for site work

Averages for 1995–2024. Rain days have 1 mm or more. Heat-stress days are when the estimated wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) at the day’s peak reaches 28°, the caution level Lumen Sites starts with (stop days reach 32°). It uses the Bureau of Meteorology’s simplified formula, which assumes moderate sun and light wind: how heat stress is estimated. Climate averages: SILO (Queensland Government, CC BY 4.0), interpolated from Bureau of Meteorology observations.
