Weather in Broome in July

Prime time. If you get to pick your dates, July is the one. Highs average 30.6 °C, lows 16.2 °C, and rain falls on 1 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

July ranks 2 of 12 in Broome. Only June scores clearly higher, and the difference is small enough to be settled by price rather than weather.

Rain falls on only 1 days, so an itinerary with no wet-weather fallback is a reasonable risk. Pack for 30.6 °C days and 16.2 °C nights; the spread matters more here than any single number.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: 20 days top 30 °C, making the heat continuous rather than occasional. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest July day reached 35.8 °C and the coldest night fell to 10.1 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 42 mm — roughly 420% of the month's rain in one day.

This is the volatile part. July rainfall has ranged from 0 mm to 113 mm across the twenty years measured — a 113 mm spread around an average of 10 mm. The average is real but almost no individual July looks like it, so treat the figure as the middle of a wide range rather than a forecast.

Wind is light at 11.2 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity is unremarkable at 41%.

How July sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 30.5 °C in June, 30.6 here, 32.5 in August. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much.

Daylight in July

July sits at the dark end of Broome's year — 11.1 hours of daylight against 13.2 at midsummer, holding steady all month. Sightseeing days are genuinely shorter, and an itinerary built for summer will not fit.

Sea temperature

The sea sits at about 25.1 °C in July — warm enough to stay in as long as you like. The sea peaks at 30.2 °C in March and bottoms out at 24.7 °C — water lags the air by a month or two, which is why the best swimming often comes after the best weather.

How busy it gets

Peak season. Expect the highest prices of the year and to be booking well ahead.

Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.

July in Broome versus nearby

If Broome is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Labuan Bajo is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 4 days more rain. Darwin is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 1 day less rain.

So: July is effectively as good as it gets here — 1 points behind June, which is inside the margin where the weather stops being the deciding factor and price starts being it.
