Birdsville weather in July is usually clear and dry, with mild days and cool nights.
The average temperature range is around 6°C to 21°C, and average rainfall for the month is approximately 11mm.
However, this is the desert – and conditions can change quickly.
At the Big Red Bash you may experience:
very cold nights (sometimes down to 0°C)
warm daytime temperatures (sometimes up to 30°C)
windy conditions
If rain occurs, it can affect ground conditions and travel in and out of the festival site. We recommend coming prepared for a range of weather so you stay comfortable and safe.
What to Pack
To be ready for both warm days and cold nights, we recommend bringing:
warm jacket
beanie and gloves
warm bedding and extra layers
sunscreen, hat and light clothing for daytime
sturdy footwear for variable ground conditions
For a full packing list, see our Gear Guide.

again before you travel to Birdsville
