It's time to enjoy the last few weeks of the dry.
The Bureau of Meteorology has forecast a top temperature for Katherine of 37 degrees on Saturday.
There will be a string of 35-36 degree days for the rest of this week.
The cool mornings of last week are over for the time being at least with 13-14 degree minimums.

Average maximum temperatures in Katherine during September are 35.8 degrees.
Humidity levels are also expected to slowly rise.
