Of January 2013
First week
We welcomed the frequented refreshing
Scattered rain showers
Often overnight
Random patchy
Heavy rain cloud covers
Blowing up and in
From the South-East coastline
But it all
Too soon
Dissipated
Yet again
Alternating to continual hot
Drier sunny but still sultry days
Those seamless blue skies
Dominate fiercely
All second week long
Average temps of 23-33 Celsius

Early evening twilight
Horizon sky line
Subsides into a lull
Of warm ember glow
Sooty, dusky residue
Evidence from further inland
Burning fires
New waxing phase moon
Arisen
Left side tilt
Peering down on a darkening earth

Twilight's embers
Glass paneled windows
A Rustic orange glowing presence
A mirrored reflection

Then comes high anticipation
For a 'real' FNQ wet season
News
Of an expectant weather pattern change
Dominating our weary heated senses
Some Top End Monsoonal Low clouds
Finally roll in
Low, heavy
By late afternoon
Two days on, 15.01.2013
Unusually quiet
No storm, no thunder
No gusty winds
Just a heavy deep blue-grey presence,
A thermal blanket
Covering the whole west horizon.

Sit seemingly
Stagnant
Horizontal aligned rows
Calm, puffy light
Lowly elevated grey clouds

The mugginess builds
Heat is trapped
Under the west's mass cloud blanket
Eventually
Offerings from above
Minimal rain shower
Later
Early morning,1.30 am
That smell of rain
So distinguishable
Bites
Into a dry stuffy atmosphere
Then comes a nip
Of temporary cooling
Of the night air
Bat screechy sounds
Break the ember dark
Night silence
