Broome in September
Great time to visit
September offers excellent weather with crowds and prices starting to moderate from peak season levels. You get nearly perfect conditions without quite the same competition for bookings.
Weather
September begins warming up with 31°C days and comfortable 17°C nights as the dry season continues. Humidity creeps up slightly to around 50%, but rain remains absent. The temperature range makes both sunrise and sunset activities equally appealing.

All Months
Broome has two seasons — the Dry and the Wet. The Dry runs April through October, and that's when you want to be here. Temperatures sit around 25-30°C, humidity stays low, and rain is basically nonexistent. Peak season is May through September when accommodation prices double and you need to book months ahead. The shoulder months of April and October offer the best balance — good weather, smaller crowds, and reasonable prices. But here's what they don't tell you about the Wet season (November to March) — yes, it's hot and humid, but the storms are spectacular and accommodation is half price. Just know that some roads become impassable and tour operators shut down. Cyclone season runs December through March, so factor that risk into your planning.
