Je pars pendant 4 mois (Juin à Septembre) et j'ai prévu d'aller en Australie et en Asie du Sud Est.
Je sais que c'est pas la meilleure saison pour visiter ce coin de la planête mais je n'arrive pas à trouver d'infos précises sur le climat. Donc si quelqu'un qui connait bien l'Australie, peut me donner une idée du temps qu'il fait à cette période au nord et au sud de l'australie, ça m'aiderait à préparer mon périple.
Bonjour
C'est la meilleure saison pour visiter la région nord - Darwin, Cairns, Broome, Townsville, Isles Whitsunday etc.
Temp. moyen maximale à Cairns est 26 pendant juin, juillet et août. En août, on peut descendre la côte est jusqu'à Sydney - temp. moyenne maximale de septembre est 20.
D'habitude on évite les régions du sud pendant ces mois - Adelaïde, Melbourne, Perth et Hobart. Cela dit, moi j'ai passé une semaine en juillet à Melbourne quand il faisait beau tous les jours et par contre, quand j'y suis retourné en janvier le climat était plus froid qu'en juillet! Attention, le climat de Melbourne et très variable!!
Merci pour ces renseignements.
Me voilà rassuré sur le climat, maintenant, je dois gérer tout le reste.
Je peux me permettre de te contacter directement si jai d'autres questions?
Salut, je suis alle a Sydney et Melbourne en plein mois d'aout et j ai fait l erreur d oublier mon blouson... j ai du m equiper sur place, car il faisait tres froid et humide!
Bonjour nous comptons aller à Perth en juillet 08 et visité l'ouest en camping car (échange avec un australien).
Pensez vous que la météo est adaptée ( nous aimerions aussi mettre le nez dans l'eau )?
Avez vous des conseils à nous donner ( ce qu'il faut voir) ?
Nous comptons aller au Nord jusqu'a Broome.
Réponse tardive désolé.
Alors, moi, j'y suis allé avec les enfants et ma femme en Juillet 2005. Il faisait assez froid (pour moi). Tout est relatif mais le froid est vite atteint pour nous qui vivons en Côte d'Ivoire. Pour nous 15 degrés c'est froid...
On n'a pas pu se baigner. On pensait se baigner au Nord à Kalbari mais la flotte était froide pour moi. mon fils s'est baigné mais il faut avouer que ce n'est pas la bonne saison. Le temps était relativement bon, 15° approx. à peu près partout, meilleur à Kalbari.
On a fait Perth donc, très belle ville, on a adoré (faire le quartier de Northbridge le soir, la City et ses vieilles églises, aller à Fremantle, Kings Park superbe parc qui domine la ville).
Ensuite, on est allé vers le Sud : Mandurah et ses maisons en bord de canaux (sans plus) Bunbury (sans plus) Ferguson Valley (sympa avec qq kangourous). Busselton et sa jetty. impossible de voir l'aquarium car mauvais temps, et train sur la jetty ne circule plus à cause de la vieillesse de la jetée en bois. Et surtout sur la côte on aperçoit 6 baleines (superbe spectacle). Margaret River : très belle grotte du Lac (Lake Caves), et bonne dégustation de bières à la Old Colonial Brewery (endroit charmant). Pemberton : superbes forêts de karris. Albany : très belle ville. Ballade en bateau pour voir les baleines. Belles falaises. Direction le Centre jusqu'à Wave Rocks (pas mal) : route rectiligne et déserte. Direction Kalgoorlie : 300 kms de piste, un camion, une autruche. Kalgoorile : viste du Super Pit (2è mine à ciel ouvert du monde), superbe ville de style far-west avec anciens bâtiments. Direction le Nord de Perth et Cerventes : désert des Pinnacles (sympa et original). Halte à Géralton avant d'aller à Kalbarri : endroit très chouette en bord de mer et rivière. Belle région.
Voilà notre périple en 5 semaines.
Les points forts : Perth, Albany, les forêts de karris que j'ai adorées, Kalgoorlie (superbe), tranquilité à Kalbarri.
Pour moi (cela n'engage que moi), c'ets une région sauvage mais j'aime bien. Il y a des endroits que l'on visite en tant que touriste mais qui ne cassent pas deux pattes à un canard (grottes, désert, jetée...). Pour moi, l'Australie c'est plus un art de vivre, une qualité de vie. Tout endroit un peu original est exploité pour les touristes et les australiens, même si pas si terrible que cela. Perth est une superbe ville avec ses ballades en bord de Swan River. Y vivre doit être très sympa.
Voilà mes comments. Je retourne à Sydney normalement cet été.....
Voila je m'envole pour l'Australie (Sydney et Brisbane) rejoindre un ami qui utilise un Working Holidays Visa. Seulement j'y vais fin mai début Juin (jusqu'au…
Je pars de mi juin a fin juin en Tasmanie et j'aimerais savoir le temps qu'il y fait a cette periode chaque site internet donne sa sauce, du coup je m'adresse…
Nous aimerions visiter georgetown et les belles plages de langkawi de mi septembre à début octobre mais avons peur de nous retrouver dans une étuve 🥵
Merci à ceux qui pourraient partager leur vécu !

Hi,
We're leaving on June 19th for an 8-day road trip in South Iceland. I've heard that even in summer, it's cold and the weather can change several times a day. Should we mainly pack winter gear, like a K-Way, fleece, down jacket, beanie, etc.?
For those who’ve experienced it, what’s the weather like in Shanghai at the end of December?
I’ve heard it’s cold, but coming from France, is the winter milder than in Lyon, for example?
I’m tempted to spend the Christmas holidays in Shanghai and the surrounding areas (Nanjing, Suzhou) with my family—kids are 11 and 2. It’d be a bummer if the little one catches a cold over there.
Generally, is this a good time for simple family visits to the main spots, restaurants in the city, indoor heating, and outdoor walks?
Hi everyone, I’m planning a trip to Mauritius—anyone have advice on when to go? I’m thinking April, May, or June for my stay. Which month would you recommend for the best beach weather, sunbathing, and exploring the island? Thanks!
Hi,
we’re planning to travel through Patagonia (Chile and Argentina) in February and March 2027.
From a seasonal and weather perspective, at that time of year and with hiking as our main activity, is it better to explore Patagonia from south to north or the other way around?
Thanks in advance.

I’ve planned a three-week itinerary for this summer, from August 9 to 27, in Sri Lanka:
Negombo – 1 night
Sigiriya and the Cultural Triangle – 4 nights
Kandy – 2 nights
Ella – 3 nights
Tangalle – 6 nights
Colombo Airport – 1 night
I know this isn’t the ideal time for the south since the beach conditions aren’t great, but we’ve booked a hotel with a pool and won’t be swimming in the sea. We want to relax after all the travel since we’re bringing our two kids, aged 6 and 8.
I know the east would be better, but (i) I’m struggling to find suitable accommodation, and (ii) it adds a lot of travel time, and my kids can only handle about 3 hours at a stretch.
I looked into Arugam Bay, but it’s a 7-hour trip back to Colombo from there.
I’ve checked every weather site imaginable, but they don’t all agree. Do you think we’ll spend our whole trip in the rain, or is the monsoon in the south mostly limited to the sea, as I’ve read?
I’m worried about ending up in the middle of a natural disaster with my two young kids, given recent events.
hi
After reading quite a few posts and buying a guidebook, I’m still struggling to finalize my suitcase.
Given that we’ll be visiting both islands during our road trip and suitcases aren’t exactly expandable,
I’ve noted that temperatures can be changeable—but should I pack more winter clothes than summer ones?
Thanks for your help
We’ve decided to go to Skopelos for 2 weeks at the end of April. What kind of weather should we expect? Any special things to know about this remote island?
Thanks for your tips
Hi there. On my itinerary from São Luís to Jericoacoara, I’ll be passing through the Lençóis. Is there any point stopping there this time of year? Apparently, the lagoons are dry, but aside from the lagoons, is the surrounding landscape still interesting enough to warrant a 1- or 2-day stop? Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi,
We’ve booked our flight tickets and we’re leaving from October 29th to November 13th for Mauritius.
I just reserved our accommodation in Cap Malheureux.
We’re used to hot and especially very sunny destinations like Oman, Jordan, Uzbekistan...
If you can reassure me about the period—can we expect sunny weather? I’m really dreaming of discovering Le Morne Brabant under beautiful sunshine...
Thanks
Hi everyone,
I need to go to Sri Lanka at the end of January.
I’ve seen that many roads, hotels, and parks were closed after the cyclone, which unfortunately caused a lot of damage.
Does anyone have more information?
Would it be wiser to postpone our trip?
Thanks, Alain.
Hi,
I’m planning a trip to Oman, probably the first half of February to avoid the extreme heat and Ramadan.
But after checking various weather sites and reading accounts, I’m a bit worried about rain, which can apparently be frequent and heavy in February. I’d love to hear from travelers or locals who’ve been there recently.
What would be the ideal month to explore Oman without extreme heat or rain? November?
Also, it’s best to avoid visiting the wadis on weekends—does that mean Saturday and Sunday?
This year, 2026, I can only get away in April and May. I never travel during these months usually, and from what I know, they aren’t the best for India. But in such a big country, there are always spots that are better than others weather-wise.
Which region would you recommend?
Given that I’ve already traveled quite a bit in this country, and in any case, I’ll be discovering places I don’t know yet. No need for a major tourist hotspot or luxury comfort.
Hi everyone,
We’d love to return to India next year for 3 weeks (we visited Rajasthan about fifteen years ago). Unfortunately, we’re tied to traveling in September, and our initial plan was to explore Himachal Pradesh. However, it seems like that might not be the best month for this region.
Could you share your experiences from that time of year in Shimla, Manali, Dharamsala, or even the Spiti Valley—in short, anywhere in Himachal Pradesh? Otherwise, which region of India would you recommend for a September trip?
Thanks so much!
Hi everyone, I’m planning a trip from mid-January to the end of February but I just can’t make up my mind 😕
I’ve looked into a few different options: Brazil, Cambodia, and Ecuador. The last one really appeals to me, but what’s making me hesitate is the risk of our trip being a bit too rainy (literally ),
We’re more drawn to the Andes, exploring colonial cities, typical villages, markets, and a bit of the coast. We’ve already gotten a taste of this in Bolivia, Colombia, and Chile. Plus, we’d love to do part of it by car since we’re used to driving at our own pace and stopping whenever we feel like it. Anyway, time’s running out, and I need to decide so I can finalize a route and book the tickets!!
Can anyone help me make up my mind or decide to postpone it for later? But for this year, I don’t have any other time slot to travel. Thanks for reading this far! !
I’ve planned a trip to Asia for the first half of November.
I’ll arrive in Singapore at the start of November for about 3 days, and I’ll leave from Bangkok in mid-November.
In between, I’d like to gradually head north to visit some less touristy islands on the Thai coast.
Since the weather is a big risk during this period, I’d love to hear your recommendations.
I’m looking for: sunshine, snorkeling, beaches, nature / jungle in places that are easily accessible without too much transport to make the most of my trip.
Hi there,
We’re planning a trip to Chile this coming August and would love to head down to Chiloé. We’ve heard that as we go further south at this time of year, the weather gets pretty rough.
What’s the weather like in Chiloé in late August/early September? What activities can we do? And which ones become really tricky because of the weather?
Thanks in advance for your tips!

So great to be back on this forum after being away for—I don’t even know what!
I’m planning a trip to Malaysia in July with my 5-year-old son. The thing is, I’m not sure which coast to choose. AI keeps telling me east one minute and west the next. Which spot is least affected by rain during this time?
Hey everyone! 🙂
Just giving you the quick context: A group of friends and I are planning a trip to South Korea (Seoul/Busan) at the end of June/July next year. It falls right in the middle of the monsoon season, but we don’t really have other availability options.😕
I’d love to hear from people who’ve visited the country and these cities during this period—basically, is it not as bad as it sounds, or should we just cancel our tickets (we don’t mind the heat, it’s mostly the rain that scares us).
I know there are plenty of indoor activities, but do you think we’ll still manage to get a few sunny days, or will it be torrential rain for our entire 2-week trip?
The only other country we’ve visited during the rainy season is Brazil (in the northeast) around the same time, and honestly, aside from a few really annoying downpours, we had sunshine most of the time and it was awesome. That said, the climate is totally different, so I’m not sure how relevant the comparison is.
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to read or reply to this post! 🙂
Hi everyone.
Not sure if guidebooks, agencies, and other tour operators are keeping up by changing their visiting hours and offerings.
Personally, I see a promising opportunity here—jumping on this adaptation to extreme climates before others do, since they’re inevitably coming.
From my own travel experience, I’ve met a few guides so far who are starting to adjust, like in Egypt, Kenya, Senegal, and elsewhere.
They avoid crowds and the hottest hours by starting their tours around 6–7 AM, when it’s cooler.
Yeah, you’ve gotta wake up early, but the payoff is so worth it. 😴
If you’ve got any great tips like this, why not discuss them in this thread and share addresses or websites where the people in charge have realized climate change is real and are adapting? 😊
Hi there,
I’m planning a trip to Namibia in 2026.
I’m torn between visiting the Fish River Canyon and the Caprivi Strip / Victoria Falls.
I’d also love your advice on the best time to travel for wildlife viewing and pleasant weather.
I haven’t chosen a tour operator yet... since I’m traveling solo, I’d prefer a small-group escorted trip. Has anyone traveled with a local agency and what’s your feedback or advice?
Thanks so much!
I’m taking a month-long trip to northern Argentina throughout September. Buenos Aires, Iguazu, Salta, Humahuaca, Cafayate, and if time allows, La Rioja. I’m unsure about what clothes to pack. What are the temperatures like in September?
Thanks for your great tips!

hi
It seems that in recent years, January and February in Bohol have seen an increase in rainy periods. Have any of you noticed this?
Thanks in advance for your replies
Hello, We’re heading to Finnish Lapland near Rovaniemi as a family at the end of February with two kids (8 and 14 years old). We’ve got direct flights with Luxairstours. The itinerary is already set, but I’m wondering if anyone has traveled with Luxair before and knows exactly what kind of clothes they provide on the second day? The agency just told me it’s a heavy-duty cold-weather suit. I’m thinking we should get Sorel Caribou boots, maybe second-hand. Here’s what I’ve already planned:
- Thermolactyl leggings and tights from Damart for the whole family as a base layer.
- A first layer of Damart socks + Nordic Stocks socks in 70% merino wool for all four of us.
- Loose fleece layers, including some Polartec.
- Ski pants for hikes.
- For my son and me, a The North Face Himalayan down parka with a hood.
- A ski parka for my husband and my 14-year-old daughter (she *really* wants a Roxy one—I hope it’ll be warm enough).
- For myself, for the flight and the first day at Santa’s village, I’ve packed The North Face winter hiking pants, a long-sleeve merino wool top from Decathlon (thin), a fleece, and my big parka.
I’m wondering if I should just pack fleece joggers or sweatpants for the kids and my husband, at least for the first and last days, to be comfortable on the plane?
I’m also planning to buy balaclavas and neck warmers in addition to our beanies, as well as mittens for all of us. I really need advice because I have no idea—I’ve never been skiing! Also, for a 4-night, 5-day trip, should I pack a second set of base layers, like from Odlo?
Of course, I’ll be leaving cotton clothes out of the suitcase.
As you can tell, I’m someone who gets cold easily—especially my feet, hands, and ears—so that’s my biggest worry. I *don’t* want to be cold, even at -20°C during dog sledding, snowmobiling, or aurora hunting when we might be standing still. We won’t be in the city, and the kids will likely spend most of their time outside, as they usually do.
Hi there!
I’m planning a 10-day trip to Greenland in early August.
Could anyone tell me what kind of weather and temperatures to expect?
I’ve heard there are mosquitoes—is that true?
Thanks!😊
Sunny destinations in October???
Not too much rain.
Martinique, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Mauritius, Cape Verde, or somewhere else?????
Any tips? Thanks for your help
