How about a trip to Northern Territory, Australia
A Brief Summary
Between Darwin in the far north and Alice Springs in the heart of the Outback there is very, very little other than Kakadu National Park separating the tropical northern city from the arid heart of Australia. If you’re looking for something completely different, a trip with some surprisingly rugged scenery, outdoor living (i.e. camping!) and a few creatures you’re unlikely to find in many other places (saltwater crocodiles being one), the Northern Territories in August, could be just what you’re looking for! One of the wettest places on earth in the northern Hemisphere winter, this part of the world sees virtually cloudless skies at this time of year as well as low humidity.
Location
About the Weather
Australia’s dry, hot and sunny heart sees little reliable rain and extensive sunshine. Heatwaves are common in all months from Oct to Apr, with temperatures from Nov – Mar averaging 40° by day and above 20°c by night. Much colder (below freezing) nights are seen from May – Aug, during the driest time of year here. Humidity levels are generally low and months can pass without significant rains. Occasional storms bring flash flooding and disruption to the region, but only occur a few times a year at most. For most of the year skies are cloudless and winds very light.
