Best time to visit Devonport

February is the best month in Devonport, scoring 89 out of 100, with August the weakest at 45. The 44-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. The good window runs January to March — 3 months within ten points of the best.

February is the warmest month at 19.9 °C and August the coolest at 12.1 °C — a 7.8 °C spread across the year. It never reaches 30 °C in an average year, which takes heat off the list of reasons to avoid any particular month.

There is a real wet season here. July to August carry the rain — up to 16 wet days in a month — while January to March drop as low as 6. That 10-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Devonport, and it moves further than the temperature does.

The sea peaks at just 18.3 °C, which is wetsuit territory even at its warmest — a coast to look at rather than swim in. Daylight runs from 9.2 hours in winter to 15.1 in summer, enough to notice on a sightseeing itinerary.

The three strongest months are February, January, March. The one to think twice about is August. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight, sea temperature and crowd levels.
