Even in the "coldest" months, daytime temperatures rarely drop below comfortable levels, making this region attractive for heat lovers.

Distinct seasonality is evident in the distribution of rainfall. The summer period (from December to March) is distinguished by sweltering heat, when the thermometer often exceeds +35°C, and an increase in rainy days. Winter in the Southern Hemisphere (from June to August) brings dry and clear weather to Halls Creek: days remain warm (around +27°C), however, nights become noticeably cool, creating a pleasant contrast.

The transition period before the onset of the rainy season, especially October and November, deserves special attention. Maximum temperature readings reaching +38°C are recorded at this time, while rainfall is still rare. For tourists planning a trip during these months or at the height of the dry season (from April to September), when there is practically no rain, it is important to take care of sun protection and a sufficient supply of water.

The hottest period is the Australian summer and the months preceding it: from October to December, the average daily maximum reaches extreme values of 37–38°C. December usually becomes the peak of the heat, when the air warms up the most, and nights remain stuffy with temperatures around 26°C.

The winter months (June, July, and August) bring significant relief and are considered the most comfortable for visiting. At this time, the daytime heat subsides to a pleasant 27°C, allowing you to enjoy nature without the risk of overheating. However, it is in winter that the contrast between day and night temperatures is most noticeable. While you can walk in light clothing during the day, at night the thermometer in July can drop to 13°C, creating a feeling of invigorating coolness.

Spring and autumn serve as short transitional stages. Already in September, the temperature begins to rise rapidly, climbing above 34°C during the day, while April and May are characterized by a gradual cooling of the air after the hot season. Travellers should be prepared for the fact that the sun in this region of Australia is very active, and the temperature difference between noon and dawn, especially in the dry season, can be around 15 degrees.

In February and December, rains also occur quite frequently (from 7 to 11 days), creating a contrast with the rest of the year.

For most of the year, especially from April to October, arid weather reigns in the town. This period can be called the dry season: rainfall levels tend toward zero, and the probability of getting caught in the rain is minimal. For example, in July and August, rainy days are practically absent, making the winter months the most stable for planning trips to nature.

A trip to Halls Creek requires a careful approach to packing, as the climate here is hot, with a distinct division into wet and dry seasons. The basis of your wardrobe should consist of light, loose clothing made from natural breathable fabrics, such as cotton or linen. Given Australia's high solar activity, be sure to bring a wide-brimmed hat or cap, quality sunglasses, and a high-protection cream (SPF 50+), which will come in handy at any time of the year.

If you plan a trip between December and March, when the number of rainy days increases, it is worth grabbing a light raincoat or a compact umbrella, although the air temperature remains very high. In the dry season (from May to August), precipitation is practically absent, and the days delight with comfortable warmth, however, nights can be cool, with temperatures around 13–15°C. For the evening, the principle of layering is ideal: take a fleece jacket, a light jacket, or a jumper that can be easily put on after sunset.

For walks in the surroundings and exploring the nature of the Kimberley region, comfortable, durable closed shoes suitable for walking on rough terrain are necessary. It is also worth putting insect repellent and a reusable water bottle in your suitcase to maintain water balance during excursions under the hot sun.
