Townsville’s climate is tough on homes. Summer high temperatures often hit 31–32 °C, and combined with relative humidity levels around 70–80%, it creates that heavy, sticky air that never seems to let up. Evening humidity stays high, making comfort indoors a struggle no matter how much you try to cool down. Roofs bake under the sun, shedding that heat into ceilings and walls, turning homes and sheds into hotboxes.
On top of that, Townsville gets plenty of sunshine—over 3000 hours a year of strong sun, especially between October and March. The tropical sun can seem relentless, and if your roof lacks proper ventilation, the trapped heat costs you comfort, energy, and sometimes peace of mind. Add in salty sea air and frequent afternoon humidity, and you’ve got the formula for moisture buildup and mould.
That’s where WhirlyPro comes in. Our Australian-made solar roof ventilators are designed to move serious air—over 700 m³ per hour—venting hot, humid air out before it does damage. They don’t just spin for show; they work smart when your roof needs relief. For Townsville homes, that means cooler living spaces, less need for air conditioning, and a healthier, mould-free environment.
