Weather Conditions On The Great Barrier Reef

What Is The Weather Like?

Summer (Wet Season): December - February

Water Temp: 29C (84F)
This is usually the wettest time of the year and can be accompanied by tropical thunderstorms and possibly a tropical cyclone. Having said that, with the current World unusual weather patterns, it is more difficult to make accurate seasonal predictions. The air and water temperatures are at their highest as is the humidity during these months. 

Autumn: March - May 

Water Temp: 26C (78F)
Still beautiful and warm, but generally less rain this time of year. The water temperature starts to drop and the evenings begin to cool down (relatively) to 20C (70F). This is a great opportunity to see juvenile fish around this time of year. 

Winter: June - August

Water Temp: 24C (75F)
Probably the most pleasant weather for the majority of people. Low humidity, clear skies and very little rain through these months. The water temperature is at its coolest point this time of year (around the 24C/75F) mark. This is also the most likely time to see Minke and Humpback whales migrating. 

Spring: September - November

Water Temp: 27C (80F)
During this period, everything starts to warm up. By the end of November you will be experiencing more humid weather, maybe the occasional afternoon thunderstorm to cool things down. The water temperature is usually warm enough to dive without wetsuits if you wish. The best place to be is in the water, spending balmy evenings on the Great Barrier Reef, watching the sunset. It is also during this period that we experience Coral Spawning.
