Best Time to Visit

Weather

Queensland boasts a diverse climate, ranging from subtropical in the south to tropical in the north. The south generally experiences warm summers and mild winters, while the north is characterised by a wet season (typically November to April) with high humidity and rainfall, followed by a dry season (May to October) with sunny days and lower humidity.

Best Months

The dry season from May to October is generally considered the best time to visit Queensland, especially for exploring the tropical north, as it offers sunny skies and comfortable temperatures without the heavy humidity.

Peak Season

Peak season usually aligns with the Australian school holidays and the dry, cooler months from June to August, particularly in the popular southern regions like the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast. Expect higher prices and more crowds during this period.

Off Season

The wet season, from November to April, is the off-season for many parts of tropical Queensland. While you might encounter rain, it's often in short, intense bursts, and you'll benefit from lower prices and fewer tourists.
