When to go
North Queensland has two seasons
Wet season from December to April, which is comprised of hot and humid days, with frequent rain showers.
Dry season from May to November, which features mild to warm days and cool nights.
The cooler months are often referred to as having the perfect climate, but don’t be put off by the wet season as the Islands usually remain drier and calmer than the Queensland main land.
Cyclones are most likely between February and March.
