Climate

While this might be commonly called ‘the land of the never-ending summer’, Cairns does offer two distinct seasons. The ‘dry’ season (or winter) spans from May to October with average temperatures ranging from 18-28˚C. During this period, you can expect beautiful sunny days and balmy nights. The tropical summer, or the ‘wet’ season extends from November to April with temperatures ranging from 23-31˚C. December and January typically have the most rain and stormy weather.

Clothing

Comfortable, light, loose casual clothing in cotton or natural fabric is recommended all year around. If you attend a work-experience course you will require clothing that conforms to industry standards (check with the CLC for details ).

Time difference

The time difference between Cairns and World Standard Time is 10 hours, and only 1-hour ahead of Japan.
