Mid January 2020 and still no monsoon arrival. Getting quite late but not yet the latest date recorded.
However, it could be some time away with a few of the global weather drivers looking decidedly dodgy ie not especially positive for a monsoon burst anytime soon.
Read the current Tropical Climate Note from earlier this week [http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/tropical-note/ ] and note the eastwards movement of the MJO away from our region, usually negative for rain across N Australia.
Today's weather reports refer to hot and drier conditions across the north over the next few days, although there may be storms.
Please continue to wait.......and wait...........and wait.

3 February 2020 - UPDATE - now coming .........the monsoon onset!! Latest ever for Darwin and even now it is still not quite here YET. Maybe in a few days still. While a monsoonal low is moving west several hundred kms SW of Darwin, officially not yet for Darwin!
