Australia’s seasons - Tourism Australia (2024)

Given the size of the country, the climate in Australia varies greatly from one region to the next. Generally speaking, there are four seasons across most of the country while the Top End (including Darwin, Katherine, Kakadu and Arnhem Land), Broome, the Kimberley and Tropical North Queensland (Cairns, the Whitsundays and the Daintree Rainforest) experience a ‘wet season’ (November to April) and a ‘dry season’ (May to October).

It’s also important to remember that Australia's seasons are at opposite times to those in the Northern Hemisphere. So if you’re chasing an endless summer, just head Down Under as things start to cool off in the Northern Hemisphere.
