Katherine’s weather today, as shown in the live forecast above, follows the dry season’s classic pattern: warm, mostly sunny days and cool overnight lows. The Bureau’s readings place the town firmly in the tropical savanna climate, where the next few days should remain stable before the build-up begins later in the year.
What is the typical weather pattern in Katherine?
Katherine sits in the Top End’s tropical savanna zone, with two distinct seasons. The dry season (May to October) brings blue skies, low humidity and comfortable temperatures, while the wet season (November to April) delivers heavy rain, thunderstorms and high humidity. The bom katherine weather radar – station 512 – is the key tool for tracking storm cells during the wet months, and many locals check the 512 katherine radar before heading out.

No significant rain is likely, though isolated morning fog can appear near the Katherine River.
