Winter: the best time to visit Tropical North Queensland is in the months April through to November. This is the dry season and humidity is less than in the summer months. Temperatures range from 12 – 19.C at night and 20 – 26.C during the day. The coolest months are July and August which are also the peak tourist season.

Summer: temperatures range from about 22 – 28.C at night and 28 to 34.C during the day. The hottest period is February / March. Summer is also the wet season with monsoonal influence and high humidity.

Tropical cyclones can occur during this summer period though they are infrequent. Cairns City itself seems to be in some sort of ‘cyclone shadow’ with having had only one direct in hit in the past 80 years. Depending on the amount of rain and wind the main disturbance is through flooding. All tourist operators have plans in place for the safety of visitors and everyone is kept well informed by radio and TV coverage should a cyclone occur in the area.
