Gold Coast is
a very picturesque coastal city in Queensland Australia and
enjoys a great reputation as a holiday destination. There is
plenty to do here and with its mostly sunny and subtropical
weather, Gold Coast surely is a fabulous place to go to.
While it is a great holiday destination almost all year through,
the peak tourist season lasts from December to February when the
weather is most sublime. The average temperature on the Gold Coast
is different from summer and winter seasons. The former sees a
range of 19 to 29 degree Celsius ad the winter sees a range from
9 to around 20 degree Celsius.
Summer on the Gold Coast
This
season lasts from December to February and it can get
pretty hot. For sun worshippers though, this is ideal
time to indulge in some beach time. It can get pretty
humid too. There are more than 30 beaches to enjoy
during this time. From the busy Surfers Paradise to the
quieter places, like
Currumbin and Tallebudgeera Creek,
Gold Coast offers a plethora of options for summer time
activities.
Autumn on the Gold Coast
March,
April and May are the beautiful autumn season on the
Gold Coast and there is enough sunny weather to enjoy
outdoor activities. The annual marine show happens
during this time and you can also enjoy hot air balloon
rides or discover the beautiful tranquil Gold Coast
waters in a enjoyful boat cruise during this season.
Winter on the Gold Coast
The
months of June through August are winter season on the Gold
Coast and it can get pretty windy during this time.
Adventure sports like kite surfing and visiting the many
theme parks in the vicinity are great winter activities
on the Gold Coast. The annual Gold Coast Airport
Marathon is also held in July and is a great event to
be apart of. The event is held in Southport, just minutes from
Surfers Paradise.
Spring on the Gold Coast
September, October and November are the spring season on
the
Gold Coast. There is a profusion of flowers everywhere
and the water of the coast is pleasantly warm to swim
in. This is the off-peak tourist season but the event
calendar is still full and plenty of fun to be had. The
Gold Coast botanical gardens is a fabulous destination
to visit as the flowers will be blooming perfectly
around the Spring season.
What to wear on the Gold
Coast
For
most of the year, it is enough to come equipped with
light wear or resort wear. For a hot summer, bring extra
sun protection along and perhaps sun hats too.
During the winter season, you may need to carry a
lightweight jacket along in case you feel cold in the
evenings. Hiking shoes are necessary if you have
included National Parks in your itinerary.
