Weather for Darwin

Best time to visit:

Darwin is dominated by two distinct seasons. The wet season, known locally as 'The Wet', runs roughly from early November to the end of March, and the dry season, or 'The Dry', generally lasts from April to October. Expect torrential rain lasting a couple of hours a day during the wet season, and very high humidity. The dry season is characterised by cool crisp nights and warm days perfect for shorts and T-shirts.
