Nhulunbuy, on the Gove Peninsula, has a tropical monsoon climate with a distinct wet season from November to April. The live forecast above shows current conditions for this coastal town, where temperatures stay warm year-round, typically in the mid-20s to low 30s Celsius.
How does the wet season behave?
Much like darwin weather further west, the wet season brings high humidity, afternoon storms and the bulk of the annual rainfall. This is also the cyclone period, so checking the bom radar gove before heading out is a good habit. The Australia weather hub provides broader outlooks for the region.
What changes in the dry season?
From May to October, drier southeasterly winds bring lower humidity, clear skies and cooler nights. This is the most comfortable time for visiting. For coastal activities, the nhulunbuy tides shift through the month and are worth checking before fishing or boating.
Does Nhulunbuy get cyclones?
Yes, during the wet season tropical cyclones can develop off the coast. Monitor the nhulunbuy weather radar and bom radar gove for updates, and watch for severe weather warnings from the Bureau.
Are tides important for fishing?
Yes — nhulunbuy tides are semi-diurnal with two highs and two lows daily. The range varies significantly through the month, so a tide chart helps for planning safe fishing, boating or beach walks.
Where can I get a 14-day outlook?
The nhulunbuy weather 14 day forecast is available from the Bureau of Meteorology and Weatherzone. For real-time tracking, the nhulunbuy weather radar and bom radar gove show developing rain and storms.
