Frost in Cairns

Cairns frosts in fewer than 1 year in 10, so frost doesn't hold back any planting here.

From its Bureau of Meteorology station, 1991 to 2020, counting a night at 2°C or lower as a frost. Frost hollows and hillsides can shift these dates by weeks, so ask the growers at your garden too.
