Above click on "Topics", "Wheather" then "Weipa" and all will be reveiled.
Here's the direct link.
Explore Oz weather
18 to 31 degrees on average so a light sleeping bag or inner sheet will normally do. For more detail visit the
BOM site

Better
check out
places like Musgrave as
well (can be found on same web link). It's a bit nippier than
Weipa at that time of year.
Cheers,
John

You will still need the sleeping bags when travelling up there through central QLD, even on the coast it can get pretty nippy overnight.

And crocs ......
But seriously, a self inflating mattress(s) sheets and a light blanket for the early mornings is all that will be needed.
Enjoy

I have been to the cape many times and find a summer weight bag to be adequate the nights can get cool down the bottom end but on average the night temps are about 17-20 and even warmer up the top.
I have been in
port Douglas and the night temps have been as low as 5 or 6 .
All the best
