Travel to Australia in November
November is the last month of spring in southern areas of Australia, and the beginning of the rainy season in the tropical north. Travelers looking for warm weather, beaches and sunny skies are in luck, as temperatures are high but not as scorching as in summer (although it's best to avoid the tropics). Here are some important things to know when traveling to Australia in November.

Weather in Australia in November
For most travelers, November, in late spring, is a very comfortable time to travel to and around Australia. Temperatures are almost uniformly warm, but not excessively hot, and precipitation is low (except in the tropics, where November marks the start of the rainy season).
In southern cities, temperatures range from warm to very warm. Hobart , Tasmania , averages 18°C in November, but most southern cities are a few degrees higher: Melbourne and Canberra reach 22°C, Adelaide and Sydney 24°C and Perth 26°C. Brisbane which is in Queensland but not in the tropics, averages 27°C in November.
Inland, November can be quite hot. However, temperatures drop significantly at night, so a light sweater may be necessary. In Alice Springs, which is quite close to Uluru, the maximum temperatures in November are 33° C and the minimum temperatures at night are 18° C.
With the exception of the tropics, November is not an exceptionally wet month and rain should not be a problem in most places. However, November is the wettest month of the year in Melbourne (which isn't saying much as it's usually a pretty dry place), and Sydney and Brisbane also get a little bit of rain. In these places, showers are expected rather than continuous showers. Other southern cities are very dry, especially Perth .
Crowds and costs in November
November is not peak season in Australia, but the south of the country receives a continuous flow of visitors, especially in cities such as Sydney and Melbourne. As many major holidays don't take place until December, November is the low season in much of Australia. In the tropical north, it is low season, as increased rainfall and high humidity, along with high temperatures, keep travelers away. Visitors to Australia in November should not find much difficulty booking their preferred hotels at lower than peak season prices, and domestic flights should be readily available.
What to visit in Australia in November
Unless you like high humidity, tropical rain and temperatures around 35°C, it's best to avoid the tropical north in November. This includes Darwin Northern Territory coast , northern Queensland ( Cairns , Townsville , Whitsunday Islands , Port Douglas ) and northern Western Australia ( Broome ).
But pretty much everything else in Australia is great in November. Southern cities are warm but not too warm; in southern Queensland and northern New South Wales you can enjoy the beach; and although the interior can be very hot, you can fly to Alice Springs and/or Uluru to see the Red Centre. Tasmania is still cooler than most of mainland Australia, but it's an outdoor lover's paradise, so November is a good time to visit if high temperatures aren't important to you.
What to do in Australia in November
November is a good time to take a road trip through the southern parts of the country, such as the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, or along the coast of New South Wales and southern Queensland between Sydney and Brisbane. Avoid driving long distances through the desert, as conditions can be very hot, especially late in the month.
While in the tropical north swimming in the sea is prohibited due to the presence of deadly jellyfish, further south conditions are good. Although water temperatures can be a little cold early in the season, when the sun is shining taking a dip in the sea can be a good way to cool off. The beaches of Perth and Sydney, as well as those on the New South Wales coast ( Byron Bay ) and southern Queensland (Brisbane, Sunshine Coast , Gold Coast ) are suitable for swimming in November.
If you want to visit Uluru and Alice Springs, it is better to fly rather than drive in November. Conditions may be uncomfortable for long-distance road trips during this time.
Sightseeing in big cities is comfortable in November, because if the temperatures are a little warm for walking outside, you can retreat to an air-conditioned museum, gallery, or restaurant. Plus, most of Australia's big cities (with the exception of Canberra) are on the coast, so beaches are never far away.
