Queensland Holidays - Weather

The "beautiful one day, perfect the next" weather and a laid-back lifestyle are part of Queensland's attraction for holiday makers. Winter occurs in June through August where maximums are around 20° C in the southern parts, rising to 25° C in the northern coastal regions. December through February is summer when maximum temperatures rise to around 32° C in the south and 34° C in the north.

Queensland is a holiday destination 12 months of the year. If personal comfort is important then the June to August winter period may suit your vacation best because summer outdoors in the Central, North and Far North regions can be uncomfortable. The heat levels in the Outback during summer can cause discomfort and winter is the best time to visit. The South East region and the Great Barrier Reef are the major holiday destinations and generally have milder summer weather.
