The climate of Hervey Bay (Australia)
Hervey Bay is located on the coast in Queensland. Hervey Bay is known
for the nearby Fraser Island. This national park is over 184000 acres.
It is one of Australia’s wonders of the world and is a World Heritage.
Fraser Island is a large sand island with beautiful nature. There are
white sand beaches and over 100 fresh water lakes. Some of these lakes
have a beautiful aqua blue colour. There is a large tropical
rainforest on the island, several mangroves and some marshy lands.
This makes for great variety in plant life and animal life. The coast
line has beautiful white beaches. During hundreds of years the rocks
have been beautifully shaped by the wind and the incoming and outgoing
tides. The best way to discover this island is by four wheel drive.
There are several campsites throughout the island. It is best not to
go swimming in the sea because of the dangerous current and the danger
of shark attacks. Besides the beautiful Fraser Island, Hervey Bay is
also known for boat trips. These daytrips are organized to go whale
spotting. Hervey Bay has a moderate sea climate with very little
differences between the summer and the winter. During the summer
average temperatures are around 30 degrees Celsius. During the winter
the average temperatures are around 23 degrees Celsius. Because the
island is located near the tropical climate zone there are little
differences in climate with a tropical climate.

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:
