Darwin - Lowest Temperature for Each Year

Here's where you'll find answers to your questions about the lowest temperatures and coldest days in Darwin, Northern Territory Australia. For instance: When was the last time Darwin got colder than 13 °C? How chilly did Darwin get in 2018, or a century ago?

This page gives the lowest temperature for each year in Darwin and the date that it happened. A date with a plus sign beside it means the lowest temperature also occurred on at least one other day earlier that year.

These records go back to 1886, with a few years missing data. The lowest temperature measured during that time was 11 degrees Celsius (51 Fahrenheit) on July 20, 1965.

Since 1942 the temperature extremes were observed at Darwin Airport. Before then, the weather station was nearby at the Darwin Post Office.
