Its generally better conditions here on winter mornings, so yeah, if something good is happening, it is worth it. That said, Cairns temps only get to aprox 12 degrees during the coolest of mornings and I use smaller refactors, so temperature adjustment is not much of an issue.
I was up at 5.30 looking at Mercury this morning. Unfortunately, the other 3 planets were behind clouds so I went back to bed.
