Climate

The Queensland climate is subtropical, bordering as it does on the Tropic of Capricorn. Although modified by sea breezes along the coast, Queensland still experiences high humidity throughout the state from November to March. Situated in the southern part of the state, Brisbane has a hot and humid climate, particularly in summer, but winters are mild and sunny with cool nights (July and August) The best time to visit the northern part of the state is from September to November. Tropical cyclones can occur in the north from November to April (mostly during January to March).
