Being a tropical area, using the term 'Cool' is relative and can be easily taken out of context. Daytime temperatures in "winter" vary from the high teens, to the mid 20's Celsius. Night temperatures vary from the mid teens, down to as low as 4-5, with the rare drop below that on the very coldest nights ( that only happens once every 5-10 years). Rainfall during the "winter" is usually nonexistent, or only measuring in the millimetre range.

Summer, or the Wet Season as we call it in North Queensland, is hot, wet and very humid. Rainfall varies greatly along the QLD coast. My area is technically the southern section of the NQ wet tropics. The wet season can bring anything from 1700mm (5 1/2') in an average year, up to and possibly beyond 5000mm (16') in a very wet year. Night temperatures are usually in the mid-high 20's, while daytime temperatures are always in the mid-high 30's. Humidity hovers around the 90-95% range during the summer.
