Re-score for me — drag the dial — every chart recolours live for your heat & sea limits 27°C · sea 29°C
Default 27 °C is the upper edge of the Holiday Climate Index "ideal comfort" band (Scott, Rutty, Amelung & Tang, 2016). Above this, most warm-tourism travellers report measurable discomfort.
Default 29 °C is the Beach Climate Index "bathtub" line (Morgan et al.) — where the sea stops being refreshing and starts feeling like a warm bath.

Frequently asked questions about visiting Broome

What is the worst time to visit Broome?

Is Broome too hot in summer?
9 months (January, February, March, April, May, September, October, November, December) trip the heat deal-breaker in our scoring: apparent temperature crosses the comfort cap, so even with clear skies and low rain the score is held down. Plan around it if heat tolerance is low.
When are crowds lowest in Broome?
Search-interest seasonality (Google Trends 2021-2025) is lowest in December and peaks in January. Interest tracks both in-trip visitors and lead-time planners, so treat it as a "destination is on people's minds" signal rather than literal arrivals.
What is the UV index in Broome by month?
UV peaks at 12 (extreme) in November and is lowest in June at 6 (high). Monthly peak values: Jan 12, Feb 12, Mar 11, Apr 10, May 7, Jun 6, Jul 7, Aug 9, Sep 11, Oct 12, Nov 12, Dec 12. January, February, March, April, August, September, October, November, December reach very high or extreme levels — apply SPF 50+, wear a hat and protective clothing, and limit direct sun between 11:00 and 17:00.
What is the UV index in Broome in November?
November is the peak UV month in Broome, with a daily-peak UV index of 12 (extreme). At this level, sunburn can occur in under 20 minutes on unprotected fair skin. Apply SPF 50+, wear protective clothing and a hat, and avoid direct midday sun (11:00–17:00).
How high can UV get in Broome on the sunniest days?
Most days look like the monthly average, but on the sunniest ~1 in 10 days UV climbs higher than the mean suggests. January is the worst case: typical days average UV 12 (extreme), but the top 10% of days reach UV 15 (extreme) — and even higher. Months where the sunniest days routinely exceed the typical reading: January, February, March, April, May, July, September, October, November, December. Plan sun protection for the worst case, not the average.
