Queensland is blessed with an enviable climate of warm sunny days. Warm summers and mild winters are what you can expect, plus loads of sunshine (with just the occasional shower).
Queensland is divided into a subtropical region in the south, where summers are warm, winters are mild and autumn and spring offer the very best of climates, as well as a tropical region in the north, where the wet season (throughout summer (October to April)) can be quite humid and hot, while the dry season (throughout winter (May to September)) is quite dry and mild.
And as for jelly fish…
The marine stinger season is between November and May. Stingers are more common on the inside of the Reef and in the north than they are on the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef and on the outer reef and around the outer islands such as Lizard, Heron and Wilson. In these months, however, no matter where you are we recommend you wear a stinger suit which greatly reduces the likelihood of a sting and protects you from the strong summer sun!
