Weather in Australia

Australia is such a diverse country with eight different states and territories with all very different landscapes and climate. Australia is situated in the Southern Hemisphere so our summers are in the months of December, January and Febuary, autumn is between the months of March, April and May, winter is between the months of June, July and August and spring is between the months of September, October and November.

Usually offering a very nice temperate climate, but with a tendency towards very cold weather in the southern states during winter time.

Starting in the top end, The Northern Territory has sub tropical weather, which may seem strange given most of the territory is actually dessert. With hot monsoonal weather in the summer months, and then staying dry and warm during the winter months.

In Queensland it has a diverse landscape, with tropical islands and rain forests in the north to desserts in the south east. With sub tropical weather it has beautiful weather most of the year with nice temperate conditions however it is prone to the monsoonal weather during the summer months. With humid heat throughout Queensland.

In New South Wales, the north of New South Wales has a warmer more tropical climate although they will usually avoid most of the heavy rains that are prone to North Queensland and the Northern Territory. Southern New South Wales is alot cooler, with snow fields and mountain ranges, making it perfect for the alpine lovers during winter.

The Australian Capital Territory is similar to the southern New South Wales climate it is alot cooler here all year round, known for its government houses and its snow fall.

Tasmania is similar with cold winters and mild summers, Tasmania is the small island off the coast of Victoria.

Victoria has the southern Australian cooler climate, often foggy in the mornings, with winds and rain during winter the usual temperature won't hit over 20(C). However unusually in recent times their usual mild summers have taken a turn with hotter days and nights.

South Australia has beautiful dry weather as alot of the state is dessert they have little rain during summer and varied amounts during winter. Winter temperatures are between 15 (C) and 20 (C) and summer temperatures can be anywhere between 30 (C) and 40 (C).
