Australia is different from other continents geographical position and climate. Their impact on the mainland has created not only unique natural zones, but also rare species Animal world. Traveling through the vast territory of the country, without crossing the borders, you can both in the deserts, and in rainforests, conquer snow-covered mountains And relax on the ocean.

Australia is located in the southern hemisphere, so the seasons familiar to the European will be opposite - the summer begins in December, and winter in June. True, all seasons can be found only on the island Tasmaniawhere it is moderate climate belt . The mainland itself is in the subequatorial, tropical and subtropical belts.

Climatic zones of Australia

Northern territories of Australia, including Darwin, refer to sub-screening belt . During the year there are two seasons - the rainy season and dry season. Australian winter passes a dry season. During this time it is hot, the temperature reaches up to + 32 ° C, and at night it drops to + 20 ° C. The rains are practically absent. The rainy season lasts all summer. Is different high humidity, frequent rains and high temperatures (during the day + 34 ° C, at night + 27 ° C).

From the western territories of Australia to the central (Alis Springs), deserts are located in the coastal regions - semi-deserts. Their appearance is due to the tropical belt and the depressing moisture mountain terrain, beginning off the coast. Rain is rare phenomenon. Temperature in the summer rises for + 30 ° C, and in the center of Australia in a large Sand desert up to + 40 ° C. In winter, cold up to + 10 ° C.

From the south-west of the mainland (Perth) to the southeast (Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne) undergoes a subtropical belt. His mild climate is favorable for living and growing plant crops. In the summer, it is hot and dry, the temperature reaches + 30 ° C, the rains and cool, about + 15 ° C. In the mountainous regions of Victoria, South Wales and near Canberra falls snow in winter.

The south of the mainland (Adelaide) falls into the subtropical belt. His continental climate It has a temperature fluctuate: in summer + 27 ° C, and in winter + 15 ° C. The rains are rare, mostly in winter.

The east coast of Australia (Brisbane, Cairns, Gold Coast) is the most green and comfortable part of the mainland. The location of most tourist beaches. In the summer, the temperature is about + 28 ° C, in winter + 18 ° C. Rains go all year, but in winter they are more and the coast rises high waves.

A moderate climatic belt passes through the island of Tasmania (Hobart). Winter warm (temperature from + 8 ° C), and summer is cool (up to + 22 ° C). Rains come often. The snow quickly melts.

Tourist seasons in Australia

Since the climate of Australia is diverse, you can go to the country at any time of the year. Each tourist will find something for himself: beautiful landscapes, rare species of the animal world, active and passive vacation on the coast of the oceans, in the mountains, deserts and canyons.

Among tourists are more common residents New Zealand, Japan, USA and the nearest asian countries. Just come tourists from Europe, most of them are the British and Germans.

Beach rest and diving Australia is carried out on the gold coast - 40 kilometer strip along the eastern shore near Brisbane, as well as on the islands along a large barrier reef. Best season For recreation will be summer, from December to March. Water is pleasant, about + 24 ° C.

To protect bathers from sharks, a program was carried out to protect the eastern beaches of Australia. Over the past 40 years, there has not been a single case of a shark attack per person.

In the north of the mainland, a beach holiday is better to spend from May to October - in the dry season, until there are no monsoon rains.
The ocean has underwater flows capable of tightening in an inexperienced swimmer. When high waves rise off the coast, the hotel administration exhibits red or yellow flags on the shore. This means that swimming is dangerous and prohibited.

Surfing are engaged in both the eastern coast of the mainland on the waves of the Pacific and Western, and the southern waves of Indian and Atlantic oceans respectively. From December to April Water warm, waves high. Fans of cool water can surf in winter Gold coast, water temperature is about + 20 ° C.

View attractions, Flora and Fauna Australia can be in any season, but it is worth considering that in the south of the mainland ( Melbourne) cloudy and fogs less in winter, and in the north ( Darwin) At this time there are no protracted rains. Leave to inspected the main regions of the mainland ( Alis Springs) It is better to the Australian winter, starting from June to October, the weather becomes cool.

Australian continent is located in limits three The main warm climatic belts of the southern hemisphere: subequatorial (in the north), tropical (in the central part), subtropical (in the south). Only a small part of Tasmania island is within a moderate belt.

The subequatorial climate, characteristic of the Northern and Northeastern part of the Australian continent, is distinguished by a smooth temperature of temperatures (during the year average temperature air + 23 ° C; + 24 ° C) and large quantity precipitation (from 1000 to 1500 mm, and in some places more than 2000 mm.). The precipitate here brings the wet north-western monsoon, and they fall mainly in the summer. In winter, in the dry period of the year, it rains only episodically. At this time, dry, hot winds from the inside of the mainland, which sometimes cause drought.

In the tropical belt on the Australian continent, two main types of climate are formed: tropical wet and tropical dry.

Tropical humid climate It is peculiar to the extreme eastern part of Australia, which is included in the zone of action of southeastern trade winds. These winds bring saturated moisture to the mainland aerial masses From the Pacific Ocean. Therefore, the entire region of coastal plains and the eastern slopes of the large waterproof ridge is well moistened (on average drops from 1000 to 1500 mm of precipitation) and has a soft warm climate (Temperature itself warm month in Sydney - + 22 ° C; + 25 ° C, and the coldest - + 11.5 ° C; + 13 ° C). The mass of air, bringing moisture from the Pacific Ocean, also penetrate and losing a significant amount of moisture along the way, therefore the sediments fall only on the Western slopes of the ridge and in the area of \u200b\u200bthe previations.

Located mainly in tropical and subtropical latitudes, where solar radiation Great, Australian mainland is very heated. In connection with weak cutness coastline and the elevation of the inquiry parts influence the seas surrounding the mainland, poorly affecting internal parts Australia.

Australia is the most dry continent of the Earth, and one of the most characteristic features His nature is the widespread desert, which occupy extensive spaces and stretch almost 2.5 thousand km from the shores Indian Ocean Before the previations of the Great Waterproof Range.

For the central and western parts of the mainland, a tropical desert climate is characteristic. In the summer (December-February), the average temperatures rise here to + 30 ° C, and sometimes above, and in the winter (June-August) decrease on average to + 10 ° C; + 15 ° С. The most hot region of Australia is the north-western, where in the large sandy desert the temperature is almost all summer in the mark + 35 ° C and even higher. In winter, it decreases slightly (about + 25 ° C; + 20 ° C). In the center of the mainland, in the area of \u200b\u200bthe city of Alice Springs, summer time Three temperatures in the afternoon rises to + 45 ° C, it drops at night to zero and below (-4 ° C; -6 ° C).

Central and Western parts of Australia, i.e. about half of its territory, receive an average of 250-300 mm of precipitation per year, and the surroundings of Lake Ayr - less than 200 mm; But these minor sediments fall unevenly. Sometimes for several years in a row does not happen at all, and sometimes in two or three days, and even in a few hours everything falls annual number precipitation. Part of the water quickly and deeply seeps through the water permeable soil and is made inaccessible to plants, and the part evaporates under the hot rays of the Sun, and the surface layers of the soil remain almost dry.

Within subtropical belt Australia has three types of climate: Mediterranean, subtropical continental and subtropical wet.

The Mediterranean climate is characteristic of the southwestern part of Australia. How can be judged by the name, the climate of this part of the country is similar to the climate of European Mediterranean countries - Spain and Southern France. Summer is roast here and, as a rule, dry, and winter is warm and wet. Comparatively small temperature fluctuations at the time of the year (January - + 23 ° C; + 27 ° C, June - + 12 ° C; + 14 ° C), sufficient precipitation (from 600 to 1000 mm).

The zone of the subtropical continental climate covers the southern, adjacent to the Bolshoi Australian bay part of the mainland, includes the neighborhood of the city of Adelaide and is stretched later to the east, in the Western state of the state of the new South Wales. The main features of this climate - a small amount of precipitation and relatively large annual oscillations Temperatures.

The zone of subtropical wet climate includes the entire state of Victoria and the southwestern foothill part of the state of the new South Wales. In general, this whole zone is characterized by a mild climate and considerable number precipitation (from 500 to 600 mm), mainly in coastal parts (the penetration of precipitation in the continent is reduced). In the summer, temperatures rise an average to + 20 ° C; + 24 ° C, but in winter it is quite high - to + 8 ° C; + 10 ° С. The climate of this part of Australia is favorable for growing fruit trees, various vegetables and fodder herbs. True, artificial irrigation is applied to obtain high yields, since summer period Moisture in the soil is not enough. In these areas, milk cattle is bred (grazing on fodder herbs) and sheep.

In believer moderate climate There are only the central and southern parts of the island of Tasmania. This island is largely experiencing the impact of the surrounding water spaces, and its climate is moderately warm winter and cool summer. The average temperature of January here is + 14 ° C; + 17 ° C, June - + 8 ° C. The predominant direction of the winds is Western. The average annual precipitation in the western part of the island is 2500 mm, and the amount of rainy days is 259. In the eastern part, the climate is somewhat less wet.

IN winter time Sometimes snow falls, but it is not saved for a long time. Abundant precipitation favors the development of vegetation, and especially herbs that vegetate round year. On evergreen juicy natural and improved female stern herbs, meadows all year round cattle and sheep.

The hot climate and a minor and uneven precipitation falling on most of the mainland lead to the fact that almost 60% of its territory is deprived of the flow of the ocean and have only a rare network of temporary watercourses. Perhaps no other mainland has such a weakly developed network inland wateras in Australia. The annual stock of all Rivers of the Australian continent is only 350 km³.

Australia is famous for blue cloudless sky and bright sun, relatively mild climate and lack of sudden temperature fluctuations. One of the most interesting and unique countries in the world takes a whole continent.

Climatic features depend on geography. Australia is located on both sides of the southern tropic, between the two giant oceans: quiet and Indian. The coast of the continent is raised, separated by mountains from the water space, so the effect of the seas is minimal.

Australia is the most dry mainland of the earth. Very little here fresh water and almost half of the mainland occupy tropical deserts, famous for the whole world: Victoria, Sandy, Gibsonovskaya. Small and almost drying. Lakes are not much and they are salty. There are mountain peaks, but they are rare and not high.

Huge sizes Countries are caused climatic diversity: from deserts to snow Mountains, from soft warm coastal zones to tropical evergreen forests.

Four climatic zones are distinguished in Australia:

  • subexvatorial
  • tropical
  • subtropical
  • moderate.

Australia is located in the southern hemisphere, so the order of the seasons is mirrored by the usual order in the northern hemisphere. Summer begins in December, and June is the first winter month.

Subscance part

Covers the northern and northeastern part of the mainland. Here falls the greatest number precipitation, mostly in the summer. Winter dry, not rare drought because of the hot winds, which breathe from the middle of the mainland. The temperature during the year is smooth, on average 23-24 degrees.

Tropical zone of Australia (approximately 40% of the country's territory)

Divided into two types of climate: tropical continental - hot with minimum quantity Precipitation and tropical wet with thunderstorm rains in the summer.

Continental tropical climate covers large squares Deserts and semi-deserts in the center and the western part of the mainland. Sand in these places of characteristic red due to large number Iron contained in it.

Close-up underground water Provides fairly rich vegetable and animal peace for the desert.

Acacia and eucalyptus from alone growing shrubs go to dense thickets and thickets in which lizards, snakes, ostriches and kangaroo live. Here is the hottest area of \u200b\u200bAustralia, almost all summer the temperature does not fall below 35 degrees, in winter - 20-25 degrees.

Narrow strip wet tropical forests extends in the east of Australia. Here south-oriental winds bring wet air from the Pacific Ocean. Here is a soft warm climate, favorable for the development of richest flora and fauna. Eucalyptus, ferns, palm trees, araucaria and bamboo grow on red ferallite soil. Many forest inhabitants are found only in this part of the planet: Koala, a paradise bird, a silent flying, echidna, installation and other species.

Subtropics

In turn, divided into three types of climate: continental subtropical arid - in the central and southern part, subtropical wet with uniform sediments - in the south-east, mixed or Mediterranean - in the East.

The Mediterranean climate is similar to the climate of Spain and southern France, covers the most inhabitable zone of Australia. Summer dry and roast (average temperature of 23-27 degrees), winter warm (12-14 degrees) with sufficient precipitation. Evergreen grow here beech forests, palm trees, shrubs.

The subtropical continental climate covers the city of Adelaide and South Wales. It is characterized by a small amount of precipitation and relatively large average annual temperature fluctuations.

The subtropical wet climate covers the cities of Victoria and the new South Wales. It features a mild climate and a large amount of precipitation, mainly in the coastal part. In summer, an average of 20-24 degrees. In winter, 8-10 degrees. The climate is favorable for growing various vegetables and fruits. True, to get a high harvest in the summer, it is necessary to artificially irrigate the soil. It grows enough feeding herbs, so local residents Break on extensive pastures of dairy cows and sheep.

Zone of moderate climate

Covers the central I. southern part Tasmania Islands is characterized by abundant precipitation, due to the influence of the surrounding water spaces. It has a cool summer (8-10 degrees) and warm winter (14-17 degrees). In winter, the island sometimes falls on snow, but does not lie for a long time. On juicy evergreen meadows of the island, sheep and cows graze all year round.

Climate at the time of year

Spring Starts in September and lasts until the end of November. On the islands at this time, surprisingly beautifully blooms wildlife. In the spring in the country is not hot and not cold. The entire continent begins to flourish with bright bright colors.

The driest and hot time - summer In Australia lasts from December to February. In the center and not far from the desert the air warms over 40 degrees in the shade. There is almost no rainy and dry the weather lasts almost the whole season.

Golden fall In Australia lasts from March to May. Most of Reserves, parks and forests of the country acquires an amazing red-gold shade. Especially unique autumn trees In Orange and foggy forests in the yard. It's time to collect crops with numerous vineyards of the country.

Winter In Australia - the best time of the year. Lasts from June to August. At this time, it is rainy season, but they are not very often. The air temperature is rarely where it exceeds 20 degrees. In winter, nature and underwater world are especially beautiful in the country.

Rest in Australia

Diversity climatic zones Countries make it attractive for tourism and recreation. When in the Northern Hemisphere Winter, in Australia - summer and this is the best travel time to the southern part of the country: cities and areas of Brisbane, Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Hobart and Perth.

Australian arid winter is the best time to visit and the northern regions of the country: Barrier Reef, Darwin, Cairns, National Park Cockada, Kimberly and Broome.

Interesting Facts about the climate of Australia

Cloncarri is the hottest place of the country. Here the temperature rises above 50 degrees in the shade.

In the city of Marble Bar in the western part of the country, the maximum mid annual temperature - 34 degrees of heat.

Absolutely minimum temperature Fixed in Eastern Australia in Mitchell - 28 degrees.

The average annual precipitation: the minimum recorded in the Willpam Creek, in the southern part of the country - 126 mm. The maximum - 3535 mm is marked in the East in Innisfeil.

The climate of Australia makes it an attractive place to relax throughout the year. Big sizes Countries cause wide climatic diversity: from the desert to coasts, from the rainforest to the snowy mountains.
Australia is located in two climatic belts - tropical and moderate, however, due to the size of the country within these zones there are plots with different climates. As Australia is located in Southern Hemisphere, the order of seasons is mirrily different from Northern Hemisphere. This means that when in the northern hemisphere Winter, in Australia, summer is the best time to visit the southern half of the country, including cities and areas of Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Hobart, Adelaide and Perth. And the Australian winter, which is called the drought season, is better time for visiting northern Regions Country, including Cairns and Big Barrier Reef, Darwin and Cockada National Park, Broome and Kimberley.

Tropical climatic belt:
Approximately 40% of the territory of Australia is in the zone of tropics. There are only two years of year here - tropical summer (rainy season) and arid winter (dry season). Through tropical part Australia passes Capricorn Tropic: In the tropics northern regions Queensland and Western Australia. In the summer (especially from December to February) in the tropical belt the weather is hot and wet.
Rainy Season (Summer): October - March
Dry season (winter): April - September


Moderate climatic belt:
The territory south of the Tropic Capricorn is located in a temperate climatic zone, in which there are all seasons. Here is a great weather all year round.
Spring: September - November
Summer: December - February
Autumn: March - May
Winter: June - August
