Some of the best and smoothest flying is in the wet season. Go to the local flying club and meet the local recreational pilots and they will give you some advice. You can see the rain in the distance and judge which way it is going with the BOM radar. You will see the thunderstorms and will work your way around them as it is fairly easy to predict what they are doing. In saying that they do build up quickly so haveyour wits about you and dont organise any long flights without good planning. There is lots of flat land and heaps of small airstrips about south of darwin so theres a lot of options if you get unstuck. You can fly all year round in the topend.
