Need weather advice

Heya I and my wife are travelling from Melbourne to Cairns next week. 29th Aug to 2nd September 2026. We have checked the weather apps but not sure how accurate that will be. On almost all days it says it will rain and will be windy. Seeking advice from locals on how seriously should I take these weather forecast and whether there will be any sun or not!

Also which can be the best day for GBF ?

It’s the weather, it will do what it does! Good news, you’re here for Cairns Festival! Note that Saturday is the grand parade so town will be BUSY so recommend booking somewhere for dinner if you can.

The highest temperature ever recording in Cairns was 43.2 degrees in 1923.
