The climate of Byron Bay (Australia)
Byron Bay is one of the oldest places in Australia. The land was
formed millions of years ago by volcanic eruptions. Because of the
fertility of the land it was soon inhabited by the Aboriginals. The
many excavations and cave-paintings still are a silent witness to
this. Throughout the centuries Byron Bay was mainly inhabited by
farmers. Nowadays it is a typical tourist town. The greater part of
Byron Bay’s inhabitants rely on the many backpackers for an income.
During the 1960s Byron Bay was an attraction for hippies and surfers.
There still is a relaxed atmosphere and many festivals are held. From
June to September you can spot large Humpback whales.
Byron Bay has a moderate sea climate which is greatly influenced by
warmth from the tropics and the sea. The average temperatures are not
far apart from each other. In general it is a pleasant place to be.
Winters are mainly dry and sunny. During the summer chances of rain
are higher. Rain mostly falls at the end of the day. During the
evening it can rain heavily.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
