Forecast

Kuranda has high air pressure near the coast and lower pressure inland. Mountains around Kuranda cause air to rise, cool, and condense, forming clouds and rain.

Kuranda's geography makes it prone to orographic lift, where air rises over mountains, cools, and creates rain. This leads to high rainfall and lush surroundings.

In summer, Kuranda experiences low-pressure systems, bringing tropical cyclones and heavy rain. In winter, high-pressure systems dominate, resulting in dry and sunny conditions.

Kuranda has a tropical monsoon climate. High pressure near the equator and low pressure inland create a monsoon cycle. This cycle brings distinct wet and dry seasons.

The region's air pressure changes drive its seasonal weather patterns. Low pressure in summer brings thunderstorms and rain. High pressure in winter brings clear skies and sunshine.
