Weather

Broome has a tropical climate of hot, humid summers and warm winters. We have two distinct seasons, "the wet" or "green season" and "the dry".

The "wet season" officially commences in October but Broome does not usually experience much (if any) rain before late December. Most of the annual rainfall for Broome is, on average, from January through to March and can be accompanied by thunderstorms and tropical lows or cyclones. Daytime temperatures during "the wet" are in the mid 30s °C with the overnight temperature averaging around the mid 20s °C.

Broome is situated on a peninsula with water on three sides so we have reliable afternoon sea breezes from the northwest to southwest during the warmer months.

April is classed as the start of our "dry season". Temperatures during this time can be expected to be in the vicinity of mid 20s °C to low 30s °C with overnight temperatures averaging approximately 12°C. Rarely will the temperatures drop below 5°C. Broome does not usually experience any significant rain at this time of the year.
