Check the live forecast above before heading out in Redlynch today. This inland suburb of Cairns sits in the Barron River valley, so its weather tends to be warmer and less humid than the coast, with afternoon showers common in the wet season.
What is the typical weather pattern for Redlynch?
Redlynch has a tropical monsoon climate. The wet season runs from November to April, bringing heavy rain and occasional storms. The dry season, May to October, is milder with low humidity and mostly clear skies. Temperatures peak around December to February, often exceeding 32°C.
How does Redlynch compare to nearby towns?
While Cairns weather is influenced by the Coral Sea, Redlynch is further inland and slightly higher, so it can be a degree or two cooler at night. Mareeba weather, further west on the Atherton Tableland, is noticeably drier and cooler. For cyclists and outdoor workers, check the rider weather conditions each morning – afternoon storms can develop quickly.
Does Redlynch get cyclones?
Yes, Redlynch can be affected by tropical cyclones during the wet season, usually from January to March. The Bureau of Meteorology issues warnings well in advance. Stay informed via the live forecast above and severe weather warnings on Coast Monitor.
Is Redlynch much rainier than Cairns city?
Redlynch typically receives slightly less annual rainfall than Cairns city because it sits in the rain shadow of the coastal range. However, both share a similar wet-season pattern. Check Cairns weather for coastal conditions if you plan to travel between the two.
When is the best time to visit Redlynch?
The dry season from May to October offers the most comfortable weather – low humidity, warm days and cool nights. This coincides with peak tourism for the nearby Daintree and Tablelands. The wet season is still visitable but expect daily showers and higher humidity.
