THE WEATHER IS CALM FOR MOST OF THE YEAR AND IF IT DOES GET ROUGH WE HAVE 1000 ISLANDS, HEADLANDS,  BAYS,  ESTUARIES AND RIVERS TO HIDE BEHIND AND EXPLORE.

Wet Season

FROM NOVEMBER TO MARCH IS THE WET SEASON WHICH IS WHEN THE KIMBERLEY RECEIVES MOST OF ITS RAIN.  THIS IS ALSO THE CYCLONE SEASON WITH SEVERAL CYCLONES BREWED UP EACH YEAR.

NOVEMBER TO MARCH

THUNDERSTORMS ARE A DAILY EVENT AND BRING HEAVY RAINS AND THEY TAPER OFF TOWARDS THE END OF MARCH/APRIL. THE DAYS AND NIGHTS ARE VERY HOT WITH THE HUMIDITY BEING HIGH.

APRIL AND MAY

THE STORMS DISAPPEAR AND THE HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE DROPS.  THIS IS WHEN THE COUNTRYSIDE IS A VIBRANT GREEN AND BURSTING WITH LIFE.  THE WATERFALLS AND RIVERS ARE ALL FLOWING STRONGLY AND IS THE BEST TIME TO CATCH BARRA.  MAY IS THE START OF THE DRY SEASON.

DRY SEASON

THE DRY IS FROM MAY TO OCTOBER AND THERE IS GENERALLY LITTLE RAIN.  THE TEMPERATURE IS PERFECT WITH THE DAYS BEING WARM (APPROX 30 DEGREES) AND THE NIGHTS COOL (APPROX 12 DEGREES).

JUNE TO SEPTEMBER

THIS IS WHEN THE SOUTHERNERS FLOCK TO THE NORTH TO ESCAPE THE WINTER FREEZE, AND WHO WOULD BLAME THEM! JUNE/JULY SEES SOME EASTERLY WINDS BUT GENERALLY ARE NOT TOO STRONG AND THE SEAS ARE VERY CALM.

OCTOBER

THE TEMPERATURE STARTS TO RISE AGAIN AND WE MAY EXPERIENCE A COUPLE OF THUNDERSTORMS.  THIS IS ALSO THE START OF THE PRE WET BARRA SEASON .
