Cairns driving - slow traffic - dry season breaker storm.

Heading home after work.

Just had our first storm of the season to break the dry season: it's been building! Getting hot, getting humid.

The storm hit in the arvy and it was still raining on my way home. And of course.. the roads are a bit slippery after no rain for a few months!

Heading south from Cairns City, down the Southern Access road (Ray Jones Drive) and merging onto the Bruce Highway (A1).

Great video. I don't think i could stand the constant heat, i would like a small shower like that.

Where can you see the traffic cams ?

thanks

Unfortunately, a shower doesn't guarantee that it will get cooler, especially up here. Mostly it means it gets stickier as the sun comes back out and steams everything up all the more.

Wow! Definitely something I wouldn't complain about...

Nice vid though, despite the traffic, Cairns looks so beautiful!

Ha! Have you been in the tropics? It was still 28C at 9:30pm last night. It gets a bit annoying when you can't even walk around without getting a sweat up! ;-)

The traffic is not always like this. This road is a bottleneck to the southern suburbs, so accidents on it tend to cause havoc.

Hahaha, on 3:38 you passed my house!

Not more or less than any other city in Australia.

Yes, I have family living in Jamaica. Also, in southern Ontario, our summers can be quite 'hot and humid' (not that that's an issue with me). Everyone else around me complains, while I sit there as happy as can be! It's the winters that trouble me greatly...

I think that some people are just better suited to be in the extreme heat, or extreme cold...or whatever extreme temperature! lol.

Are motorcyclists a problem in Cairns?

Hope you have a safe move to Australia. Nah.. the web cam I use mustn't be the best quality for video, so it tends to make the sky pink. It's not like that in real life.
