The Kimberley region of north Western Australia has a tropical climate with two very distinct seasons – The Dry Season and the Wet Season. Most visitors come during the Dry Season (May to September) when the skies are blue, the winds are light, rain is very unlikely and nights can get a little chilly. With balmy days and great weather, outdoor activities can be confidently planned in advance. Temperatures in the Dry Season range between 26 and 36 degrees in March and April, 14 and 30 degrees from June until August and 19 to 32 degrees during September. The Wet Season spans from October to April. During the Wet Season it is very hot, humid and the Kimberley receives 90% of its annual rainfall. The Wet Season is also the cyclone (monsoon) season. For this reason, cruises operate during the Dry Season, or the shoulder season months of the Wet Season.
