Weather in Australia July 2008?

Question

Can anyone tell me what the weather will be like in Australia around the middle to end of July? I will be near Hamilton Island and I would like to pack appropriate clothing.

Thanks!!

Answer 1

If you're just going to Hamilton Island you should expect comfortable days, and cold nights.  Some days you might need a jumper (jacket) or long pants, especially if you're taking a boat ride - otherwise if you basking in the sun you'll be warm.  Shouldn't be too much rain, just a smattering.  Not the rainy season.

Don't forget the hat!!!

Answer 2

well it all depends where ya from and what you are used to. i lived up in townsville (north qld) for a few years and when winter (june/july/august) i froze my butt off while when tourists came you saw them walking around in shorts. crazy! so if your used to the cold , yes you will be running around in shorts, but if like me and used to being hot you will need to bring some light jackets. have fun though!

Answer 3

Hamilton Island is North enough not to have a winter really, pack a pair of jeans and something long sleeved for the night time, or a rainy day, otherwise I can imagine you'd be fine sleeping in a t-shirt and roaming around during the day in a pair of shorts or a skirt with sandals and a top, you won't need much warm clothing at all.   Probably about 12+ Celsius at night and in the 25ish during the day.  You won't be 'cold' put it that way.

Answer 4

The average temperature around Hamilton Island in July is 23 °C or 73°F.

That's quite a comfortable temperature in my opinion.

The water temperature will be approx 25°C.

Have a great time, it's beautiful there.
