Brisbane Weather

Brisbane is a popular destination because of its subtropical climate. Compared to the other major cities in Australia, Brisbane has the most consistently hot and humid days during the summer which are the months December to January. Temperatures often reach past 30 °C and average around 25°C. The humidity is heavy during the peak summer season.

Though the days are shorter in winter, the skies usually remain clear, so there are frequent sunny days without the strong heat and humidity of summer. The temperature averages around 15 °C

The rainy season usually comes during the period between October and March which is the early spring to late autumn cycle. Due to the humidity and the location of the city, thunderstorms are common and every now and then they can be quite destructive with heavy rain and strong winds. On the odd occasion thunderstorms have also hailed.

In 2006 Australia went through a severe drought and cities have been under strict water regulations but as of 2009, water restriction has dropped to the medium level.
