Cloncurry is mostly hot and dry, with temperatures ranging from mild winter nights to blazing summer days. The live forecast above gives you the immediate conditions, but here’s the bigger picture for this north-west Queensland town.
What’s the typical weather pattern in Cloncurry?
You can expect a classic semi-arid climate: very hot summers from November to March, with afternoon storms occasionally breaking the heat. Winters are warm and sunny, with cool nights where you’ll want a jacket. The wet season (December to March) brings most of the annual rain, though totals can vary hugely from year to year. For longer-term planning, the weather in Cloncurry 10 days and Cloncurry weather 14 day forecast on the live board are your best bet; beyond that, the outlook becomes more general.
How can you check the latest observations and radar?
For real-time data, the Cloncurry weather observations from the Bureau’s automatic station are updated every few minutes. Pair that with bom radar Cloncurry to track approaching storms or showers — especially useful in summer when rain can be localised. If you’re heading to nearby Mount Isa, conditions there are usually similar, though Mount Isa can be slightly cooler in winter due to its higher elevation.
When is the wet season in Cloncurry?
Typically from December to March, when monsoon troughs and tropical lows can bring heavy downpours. January and February are the wettest months, averaging around 100 mm each, but isolated storms can produce much more in a single day.
Does it ever snow in Cloncurry?
No, snow is virtually impossible here. Winter temperatures rarely dip below 5°C, and even the record low of –1°2°C (July 1951) was associated with frost, not snow. You can leave your snow gear at home.
How hot does Cloncurry actually get?
Summer daytime highs routinely hit 38–40°C between November and February. The record is 49.3°C, among the highest ever recorded in Australia. That kind of heat demands plenty of water and shade — check the severe weather warning page if a heatwave is forecast.
