I was hoping to get back online a bit earlier but my wife dragged me out to dinner ??♂️ But at 9:45pm local it’s 88% humidity and 25 deg.
I think the suns will handle the humidity fairly well, I was amazed at how hard they used to rotate when their seconds played NT Thunder in the NEAFL up here.
I lived in Darwin for 6 years and 'fondly' remember early on I had a flat tyre before leaving for work. 7am I jack up the car and replace the wheel. 7:30 I peel off my soaked clothes and I'm back in the shower and looking for a fresh set of clothes.
Also played footy up there for 5 seasons. The season is switched around up there and you play in the summer, which is brutal when it's humid. I'd start hydrating the night before, and then all morning before the game, and after the game on a Saturday we'd head to the pub to rehydrate. Most weeks I wouldn't take a leak until 10pm or something stupid like that.
Has been 15 years or so since I was up there, so can't remember how early it starts getting uncomfortable, but I know it gets really nasty the closer you get to christmas. From memory shouldn't be too bad in August. Should be quite nice.
