How about a trip to Gold Coast / Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
A Brief Summary
Brisbane is Australia’s 3rd most populous city, after Sydney and Melbourne, but seldom makes the list of places to see in Australia when people are planning a trip “down under”. Quite possibly because by the time you’ve flown 24-hours to Sydney or Melbourne, you don’t fancy any more time on board an airplane. But if you do decide you want to go somewhere with plenty to do, with outstanding beaches as far as the eye can see, hot and sunny weather and to see the first sunrise in the Australian mainland, then far south east of Queensland is a great option. Afterall, you might just need that beach to recover from the jet lag!

For most of the year temperatures are hot and the weather is sunny, but with frequent showers, often thundery. October to April is the warmest time of year, with temperatures above 27°c and often above 33°c, but humidity is seldom higher than 55%. This is also the wettest time of year with frequent thundery showers and spells of occasionally very stormy weather with intense hailstorms and strong winds. Night time during this time of year sees temperatures above 18°c. The rest of the year, May to September, is cooler and drier, with August the sunniest month of the year, relative to the amount of possible sunshine and temperatures by day in the low 20’s°c. There are no particularly cloudy months throughout the year in Brisbane, with June being the dullest month, still averaging similar amounts of sunshine to the UK in August.
