Australia Weather

Australia - Climate and Weather

Australia has some of the best weather in the world but also some of the most
diverse. With eight states all so different in landscape.

The average Summer temperature in Australia is around 29 degrees and during
Winter it can drop to 13 degrees or less. Located in the Southern Hemisphere
Australia has it's seasons during different parts of the year to that of the Northern
Hemisphere. Summer is through December, January and Febuary, Autumn through
March, April and May, Winter through June, July and August and then Spring through September, October and November.

As mentioned earlier each state is so different. You will find in Queensland and Northern New South Wales the weather is more tropical and humid, where as Southern New South Wales, Victoria, ACT and Tasmania have cooler months and are the only states with snow fall during Winter. South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory all have dryer dessert climates. However the Northern most part of the Northern Territory can have almost tropical weather during the warmer months with sometimes Monsoon like rainfall.

Australia has some extreme weather conditions, with many of the eastern states having alot of bushy areas but still having hot weather during certain parts of the year, bushfires are often a worry. With such tropical weather in the north flooding can also be an occasional threat. However these are of course occasional and Australia does still have fantastic weather to offer.
