Weather
Perfect one day... better the next
Situated on 20'4'S and 148'5'E, the welcoming tropical climate of the Whitsundays boasts an estimated average daily 8.25 hours of sunshine and mean annual temperature of 27'C maximum and 21'C minimum.
As this island group is situated on the same latitude as Tahiti you can expect sunny tropical weather virtually all year round, making it the perfect playground for activities such as sailing, diving and relaxing. We do however, experience rainy or windy conditions once in a while!
