The climate in the Northern Territory is divided into two different climate zones. The north, including Darwin, is tropical with high humidity and a wet season (November to April) and a dry season (May to October), influenced by monsoons. The temperature in Darwin is usually constant all year round, with a maximum average temperature of 89.2°F (31.8°C) in January and a minimum average temperature of 76.7°F (24.8°C) in July. Rainfall in the wet season can be very heavy and the coast is susceptible to tropical cyclones. The central part of the state is the desert centre of Australia, and includes Alice Springs and Ayers Rock. The area has a semiarid climate with little rain, which usually falls during the hottest months from October to March.
