- Seasons
Winter: The ideal weather
in Port Douglas for most is between May and October which is the dry
season. The dry season along with the low humidity and cool
breeze makes it pleasurable for activities such as scuba diving,
snorkelling, rainforest tours, in fact, everything that Port Douglas
and the reef has to offer
Summer:
Is between November and April, which is the green season with
tropical rainfalls caused by the monsoons. With the green
season comes the arrival of the Box
Jellyfish close to the beach which prevents swimming in the Surf
unless they are using the protective nets. However, the Great Barrier
Reef is free of the Box Jellyfish through all the seasons. The
green season also heralds the splendour of magnificent waterfalls,
vibrant flora growth and abundant wildlife. The reef is also a
pleasurable place to be in the warmer months.
