It is only a few days away from summer and Australia’s Gold Coast has already started to buzz with travellers from different parts of the world. With the sun shining bright and the waters turning warm, you can sense the blissful weather.

Gold Coast of Australia

The Gold Coast is indeed one of the best choices for your approaching holidays. After all, nothing could be more wonderful than spending your winter holidays in the pleasant weather of the Gold Coast.

Those who are used to spending extreme cold winters and are planning to spend the coming December on the Gold Coast should know that during this time temperatures here are completely the opposite. From December to February, the temperature here varies from 20 – 30 degrees Celsius. The temperature will begin to fall after sunset. However, don’t expect the nights to be extreme chilly.
The southeast part of Queensland is known for the summer storms and the local people can generally sense it. However, the blistering hot days do not last for long and soon the weather starts getting humid. You will eventually see a cloudy weather dominating the region. Dark cloudy skies generally tend to appear at this time; however, tourists should not feel worried as it will only shower if the clouds touch the coast.
Famous for its nightlife, the Gold Coast is the perfect destination for tourists who look for endless fun and revelry. Visit any of the pubs, lounges or nightclubs and you will get a perfect dose of the thrill and entertainment. Many of these entertainment venues are located within the periphery of the luxury Gold Coast accommodations.
