Twelve month analysis of temperature, precipitation, wind, and daylight patterns
Review the long-term climatic profile of Coral Sea Marine Park across the calendar year. These monthly averages, derived from NASA POWER data between 1991 and 2020, represent atmospheric conditions at a single coordinate within the protected area. Each data point tracks the annual rhythm of temperature fluctuations, daily precipitation rates, relative humidity, wind speed, and daylight duration to establish a baseline for regional climatology.
Long-term monthly averages track temperature and daily precipitation across the year.
Compare long-term temperature bounds, average daily precipitation, humidity, wind, and calculated daylight across the calendar year.

See two months side by side and how much they differ. Both use the same 1991–2020 climate normals and NASA POWER data point as the table above, so they show typical conditions, not a forecast.
