Broome’s tropical climate brings a dry season (May–October) with warm, sunny days and low humidity, and a wet season (November–April) with high humidity, storms and the risk of cyclones. The live forecast above shows current conditions.
When is the best time to visit Broome?
The dry season from May to October is ideal, with temperatures around 30°C and barely any rain. This is also the busiest period, so book ahead. The wet season (November–April) is hotter and stickier, but offers lower prices and fewer crowds – just keep an eye on the BOM Broome radar 64km for approaching storms. If you’re checking weather in Broome 10 days ahead, the dry season forecasts are very reliable.
What should I pack for Broome?
Lightweight, breathable clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, high-SPF sunscreen and insect repellent are essential year-round. In the wet season add a rain jacket and sturdy sandals; in the dry season a light layer for cooler evenings. Don’t forget swimmers – the Indian Ocean is warm most months.
Is Broome very windy?
Yes, particularly from May to October when the south-easterly trade winds blow. It’s a welcome relief from the heat, but kite‑surfers love it. Check the broome radar to see if wind is linked to any approaching showers.
Can I swim in the ocean year‑round?
Yes, water temperatures range from 22°C in winter to 29°C in summer. However, from November to April marine stingers (box jellyfish) are present; swim only at patrolled beaches wearing a stinger suit.
Where can I get reliable bom broome weather information?
The Bureau of Meteorology provides official forecasts and warnings. The bom broome radar 64km loop is particularly useful for tracking afternoon storms during the wet season. You can also use Weatherzone for hour-by-hour updates.
