Mackay’s climate is both enviable and renowned. The Mackay region is on nearly the same latitude as the Hawaiian Islands, and enjoys superb weather all year round.
The atmosphere is relaxed and casual and so is the clothing. Lightweight clothing is suitable most of the year, with something a little warmer required for winter evenings. The waters remain at a constant 20 to 22 degrees Celsius.
