What is the minimum temperature on an annual basis in West End?

The mean minimum temperature is 19.8 °C, or 68 °F.Townsville is characterised as a tropical savanna climate. Owing to a quirk of its geographical location, Townsville's winter rainfall in particular is not as high as elsewhere in the tropics such as Cairns. The winter months are dominated by southeast trade winds and mostly fine weather. Further north the coastline runs north/south and the trade winds are lifted to produce rainfall right through the year. Townsville however lies on a section of coastline that turns east/west, so the lifting effect is not present. As a result, winter months are dominated by blue skies, warm days and cool nights, although at times significant rainfall may occur, and that is what makes Townsville one of the best places to live.
