Brisbane’s subtropical climate makes for enjoyable weather year-round, with hot summers and mild winters.
The summer months between December and February bring heavy humidity and high temperatures of around 84°F (29°C). The hotter months also sometimes bring thunderstorms, hailstorms, cyclonic winds and drought, but generally, the warm, sunny weather is perfect for holidays and outdoor activities. The summer sun can be harsh though. It’s best to stay indoors during the hottest parts of the day, and don’t forget to put on sunscreen if you’re going to be outside. It’s also important to stay hydrated.
Winters, from June to August, are dry and mild with temperatures between 59°F (15°C) and 68°F (20°C). The rainy season runs from November to March.
