When to fly

The climate in Cairns is characterized by high temperatures year-round; however, January is the hottest and rainiest month, with up to 481 mm of precipitation. The coolest and driest period occurs in July and August, when the average daily maximum is around 22°C.

From a savings perspective, it is most cost-effective to plan your flight for November, when ticket prices start $330. Peak prices occur in January and April—during these months, ticket costs can reach $649 and $644 respectively.

For the ideal combination of weather and value, we recommend choosing September or October: this is the dry season with moderate ticket prices. It is best to avoid January due to the combination of tropical downpours and peak flight costs.
