Queensland does not operate daylight saving and local time is always 10 hours in front of GMT The map above shows the latitude of Cairns and the corresponding latitude in the Northern Hemisphere. Cities occupying the same latitude to within +/- 1 degree are shown to give an approximate indication of the climate to be expected in Cairns.
