What matters for roofing & gutters in Darwin
Darwin gets 1,737 mm of rain a year but 432 mm of it falls in January and just 1.1 mm in July. There are 47 days a year with 10 mm or more and 22 days with 25 mm or more, almost all between November and April, which is why roof and external work is booked into the dry season.

The NT Government tells Darwin homeowners to check the roof space each year for corrosion of metal roof coverings, batten straps, fixing bolts, fixing plates, screws and nails, and says this is particularly important for homes close to the coast. Corroded fixings are a structural issue in a cyclone region, not a cosmetic one.

The Top End cyclone season runs from November to May. The NT Government advises a visual inspection of your home every year, looking in the roof space for corrosion of metal roof coverings, batten straps, fixing bolts, fixing plates, screws and nails, and tightening tie-down bolts loosened by weathering.

Cyclone Tracy destroyed or badly damaged the majority of Darwin's buildings on Christmas Day 1974, and the Bureau of Meteorology records that much more attention was given to building codes as a result. Anything in Darwin built before 1975 was not built to the cyclone rules that apply now.
