Climate in QLD

Northern Queensland seasons are more a likely to be hot and wet OR cool and dry as there is less of summer and winter. November/December to April/May is the wetter, hotter half of the year; this is also the season for cyclones.

Queensland doesn't really experience 'cold weather'. Temperatures in Brisbane, in the south of the state, rarely drop below 20°C and, while it doesn't suffer the high humidity that can be found in northern regions of the state, the climate is still most pleasant in winter (June to August).
