North Queensland is home to some of the best weather year-round that Australia has to offer. Sunny days, warm waters, cool ocean breezes and generally comfortable climate are part of what makes north Queensland such a popular place to live. The North Queensland climate is characterised by two distinct seasons, with warm temperatures and low rainfall during the winter period while summer brings higher rainfall and warmer, balmy temperatures.
