Meteo Byron Bay (Byron) in novembre

November opens the summer here and the board's summary is hot, humid, mostly sunny, with a good chance of an afternoon storm - one visitor compares early November to standing in a sauna. Our row runs a little milder than the thirty degrees they quote, 27C reading as 29C at 74.7 percent humidity, over 19C nights, and the storms show in the shape of the rain rather than the total: 100.2mm across only 7.9 days. The sea is 22.8C. The advice regulars repeat matters more than any of that - swim at a patrolled beach and between the flags, and read the lifesavers' board, which posts the day's currents and whether bluebottles have blown in. The record: 11.3 hours of sun, a 17 kph wind and AQI 42.

Forum posters describe July temperatures in Byron Bay as commonly around 19-20C most days, mild for the depths of Australian winter thanks to the town's far-northern New South Wales location, warmer overall than beaches further south. Posters are consistent that Byron Bay is worth visiting any time of year, with shorts still perfectly reasonable daywear, though a wetsuit becomes genuinely necessary for winter swimming or surfing. Posters recommend long pants or, for women, tights under a skirt for cooler evening outings. Posters generally rate July as mild and pleasant by regional winter standards for Byron Bay, workable for outdoor exploring even if the water itself runs cold.

January in Byron Bay is hot, wet and packed all at once. The forum's summary is that it either rains or is stinking hot, with school holidays running to late January, accommodation at peak prices and booked well ahead, and the town super-packed at weekends. The record backs the wet half: near fourteen rain-days, against 27°C by day and 22 overnight, with the sea at 25. Regulars' fix for the heat is timing — start walks at first light. Their fix for everything else is to come in April or May instead.
