General Climate Information for Daintree
Between April and September we enjoy slightly cooler temperatures with lovely clear skies. November and December are hot but perfect for diving with excellent visibility.
The wet season arrives in January but the days are generally clear. Most of the rain falls at night. The rain is like a warm shower..Theories abound about when the Wet Season will start and for how long it will last each year. The old timers generally base their predictions on the mango trees flowering? This is a time of year that the locals look forward to because the gardens and forests get a well needed drink after a hot summer.
Weather in North Queensland follows a fairly consistent pattern each year. April, May, June, July, August, September and October are the most popular times to visit with the school holiday times for Australia and New Zealand being peak times.
While it is cold in Southern Australia we are enjoying warmer weather and July, August, September and October are our driest months.
At this time of the year you can do everything and anything in the tropics. It is perfect!:
* Visit the Great Barrier Reef ( The water is still a warm 25 degrees )
* Splash about in the sunshine
* Take a road trip visiting all of the waterfalls
* Enjoy sea kayaking
* Drive to dazzling beaches
* Enjoy a beach picnic
* Hire a bike and ride through stunning mountain scenery

Between the months of November to May our temperatures are warm to hot with high humidity. Our rainfall peaks in the months of Feb, March and April and at that time nature lovers and photographers can be amazed by the awesome impact that the rainy nights has on our waterfalls and rainforest. During our rainy season visitors have an abundance of experiences to enjoy such as:
* Visit the Great Barrier Reef ( Our days are hot! )
* Plunge into the pool and stay there!
* Splash through another day of backstroking
* Hire a boat and go fishing

See why the tropics are so tropical! and, enjoy a holiday for a fraction of the price. We generally have a late afternoon storm or wet evening but the days are clear. The rain gives us something to smile about as we say goodbye to sticky humidity and welcome the evening downpour.
