I was there in December and January yet didn't see a single storm. Plenty of torrential downpours though, appearing out of thin air.

I'm surprised you think Cairns doesn't get much thunderstorms. I used to look at their forecasts in the wet season and there was often a thunder symbol. Their wet season on the graph below is extremely wet (over 1,000mm) and given the average temperature a lot of this would be thundery. The Cairns accomodation website says they get "sensational" evening thunderstorms during this time.
