The plus 400% contour should be a bit wider east and SE of Darwin – where two outback stations scored +100mm on the 10th.
Not sure how they count their percentage. Is it the average for the ten days in the month or the amount for the whole month? In my case the map shows the range of 20-40%. In fact at my place the measured (around 8.30 to 9PM each morning) amount of rain is 73.3 mm for the 10 days of May. This is 48.3 % of the average for May (151.3mm) over all years back to 1893.
This year the rainfall over the first 4 months which are by far the wettest normally has been below average (55%) but not as dry as BOM indicates and no where near any record.
Of topic but well worth a look at “The Conversation”.
Well worth a look.
Historically droughts and floods in OZ much worse than in the last 100 years of records.

Perhaps it’s already been on this site?
Some big brown patches where few live in WA on the WA/NT border, right where there are no instruments and no radar! What’s with that? The forecast for the rain event before it happened never showed those areas as likely dry spots.
I may be visiting the Northern one in September, all going well.

– the Darwin region has fairly low May rain normally. So recent falls look good as percentages.

Yes, Warwick my place fits in the area you mention. I have looked at a number of stations in the past in the area looking at the effects of cyclones and remnants. One I had looked at was Landsborough and was surprised to see n/a for the norm. Looked at the BOM site. Station 40117 Landsborough PO at 26.80S 152.96 E elev 43 opened in 1892 and closed in Oct 2010. A new station 40999 Landsborough 26.79S 152.98E elev 61m was opened in Oct 2010. These two would be within 200m of each other. I have looked at some stations within about 2 km of each other and did some statistics spanning about 40 years. I found the the average and standard deviation for rainfall in the same months were identical (within the error of measurement). Thus Landsborough should be treated as having a rainfall record of 124 years. But then BOM does not want to acknowledge that there are records that showing a cyclical pattern over a long period with no noticeable long term change.
It appears that the rain will continue for at least another week over the top end and it will be coming in from the south east.
Its what we might expect if the Subtropical Ridge is intensifying.
