Townsville is in an area known as the dry tropics. It is situated on a part of the Queensland coast which runs more East/West.  Although Townsville is in the Tropics, rainfall isn't as high as other areas in Northern Queensland.  We do however have a spectacular Monsoon Season which runs from November to April.

During this time, Cyclones and/or Tropical Lows also have the potential to bring large amounts of rainfall in such a short time.  Some years, Townsville can receive a whole years average rainfall in only 8 weeks.  Other years can be very dry such as 2005. In the dry season ( May to October ) the region enjoys warm winters and sunny skies.  Townsville is recognised as having on average 300 sunny days per year.
