What are the seasons in Palm Cove and when is the best time to stay?
A. Peak season is July to October during the southern hemisphere winter, when people from southern states and New Zealand retreat from their cold winters. However, Palm Cove offers a pleasant stay for most other months. The rainy season extends from December to April, and bookings are lowest during this period. However, the rain is sporadic and there are many sunshine hours so you can still have a great time. Some activities are actually better during the rainy season. Christmas, New Year and Easter all fall within this period and many regular visitors spend these holidays in Palm Cove. The shoulder months of May June and November offer excellent value: dry weather, pleasant temperatures, off-peak rates. Detailed climatic data for Cairns can be found on the Bureau of Meteorology site.
