The Northern Territory's wet season has officially begun, and with it comes a familiar phenomenon: thunderstorms that roll into Darwin's Top End at around 3pm each afternoon like clockwork.

Why now: The official start of the northern wet season has drawn attention to the famously predictable daily thunderstorms of the Top End.
