It is called Build up because when the wet season comes, the weather doesn’t just change in a minute. The wet season have to build up the weather and the humidity, that lasts for about 3-4 months. If it’s winter in Sweden, it’s summer in Australia. If it’s autumn in Sweden it’s spring in Autralia and so on. So our hottest months here in Sweden are the coldest months in Australia.
