WEATHER – AUSTRALIA – HAMILTON ISLAND

With mild weather all year round, any time is a great time to visit Hamilton Island. However, there are some unique features to each season that it’s worth keeping in mind if you’re planning a trip.

January to March

It is not uncommon for tropical low pressure systems to develop in the Coral Sea, and on rare occasions, cyclones may form at this time of the year. This may create variable weather for the Queensland coast however, in general, most days are sunny and hot. This is a great time for getting out and making the most of all the many tours and activities available on and in the water. The average temperature is 30C.

April to June

This is a stunning time of year and people who live on Hamilton Island say it’s the best time to visit. The weather ranges from mild to warm, with less daily showers and lots of days with crisp, clear blue skies.

July to September

With school holidays in July, this is a busy but fun month, and weather is mild to warm with some rain showers. Spring starts early in Queensland, and by August we have beautiful, warm, breezy weather with clear blue skies. As this is a great time for sailing, this is when we hold the famous annual offshore sailing regatta, Hamilton Island Race Week. Toward the end of this period, as we approach the summer months, it gets warm and very sunny, but never too hot.

October to December

The weather is typically hot and sunny. These pre-Christmas months are very warm but less tropical than the post-Christmas months. Although, as soon as the warmer weather hits in Queensland, the chances of showers during the day can increase. However, these showers are usually short and quick, making way for clear, sunny skies. It’s definitely another great time to see what the region has to offer.
