The climate in The Kimberley (and across northern Australia) is a tropical monsoon climate, defined by distinct wet and dry seasons.

The dry season (May to October) is characterised by blue skies, easterly winds and balmy days with some chilly nights. The weather is generally stable and rain is unlikely.

During the wet season (November to April), The Kimberley becomes hot and humid, wet and can be unpredictable.
