What is the climate like in Mount Isa?

Mt. Isa has a “tropical continental” climate because it is quite far north within Australia but away from the coast. Summers can be extremely hot, but temperatures tend to be somewhat more moderate here than in other northwestern Queensland towns because of Mt. Isa’s slight altitude. December to March is the wet season, with around 75% of the annual rainfall falling at this time. Most campers will find it most comfortable to visit in the dry season, when temperatures are also cooler.
