- The most arid mainland of the planet. Only 1/3 part of its territory receives sufficient or excessive moisturizing. In general, the continent falls five times less precipitation than above.

The climatic conditions of Australia depend primarily from its features on both sides of the southern tropical. In addition to the climate, the mainland is influenced by the features, relief, weak cutting of the coastline and, as well as the greater length of the mainland from the west to the East.

On most of Australia, the trade winds are dominated. But their influence on the climate of the eastern mountain and western parts of the mainland is manifested in different ways. In the extreme south in the formation of climate, influence in the cold period of the year of Western moderate latitudes. North of the mainland is subject to the influence of northwestern equatorial monsoons.

Small cutting of the coastline and the mountain barrier in the east of the mainland significantly weaken the effect of surrounding ocean water spaces on the climate of internal (tropical) parts of Australia. Therefore, the climate is most extended from the west to the east part of the mainland is distinguished by amazing dryness and continentality.

Mainland Australia is located in three:, tropical and subtropical.

In the subequatorial belt is the northern outskirts of the mainland approximately 20 ° Yu.Sh. To these latitudes in the summer of the southern hemisphere (December-February), northwestern monsimes penetrate.

In the tropical belt (between 20 ° and 30 ° Yu.Sh.) in Australia, two types of climate are formed: tropical wet - in the east and tropical dry - in the West. The area of \u200b\u200bthe wet tropical climate occupies the east coast of the mainland. Southeast Passats are shown all year round. They pass over the warm East Australian flow, saturated with moisture and bring to the eastern slopes of a large waterproop (1000-1500 mm per year). The area of \u200b\u200bthe dry tropical climate covers the Western and central areas of the belt. Here all the year dominate dry tropical. In summer, the air of Western Australia rise above + 30 ° C, in winter - held within + 10 ... + 15 ° C. The precipitation is only about 100-300 mm, they fall out irregularly, episodically.

In the subtropical belt (south of 30 °), three types of climate are distinguished: wet - in the south-east, subtropical continental - north of the large bay coast, subtropical - in the south-west belt. These climate types differ mainly by the annual precipitation and their regime. Thus, in the area of \u200b\u200bsubtropical sediment, falling throughout the year (1000-2000 mm or more); Temperature January about + 22 ° C, July - + 6 ° C. The subtropical continental climate is characterized by a small amount of precipitation (300-400 mm per year) and rather sharp annual and daily fluctuations in temperatures. The subtropical Mediterranean climate in Australia is characterized by dry and hot summer, cool and rainy winter, annual precipitation 500-600 mm.

In addition to the northern part, it is already in the belt of the southern hemisphere. There all year are dominated by Western winds, bringing a lot of precipitation. Therefore, the climate in Tasmania is wet, with a cool summer and relatively warm winter.

The climate of Australia is a subequatorial - in the north of the continent, tropical - in the central part, subtropical - in the south of the country, and moderate on the island of Tasmania. Due to its location, Australia earned the honorary title of "Countries, where the other way around" - when winter prevails in the most part of the world, in Australia - hot summer, and when the summer season comes in Europe, Russia and many other countries of the world - Australia meets the winter. Winter - Summer, in the fall - spring, like this and lives. In addition, the Casus of Nature is that in the north of Australia, much warmer than on the southern side, that again contradicts the usual logic. In Australia, when the North "sunbatches", in the south "mournant."

Because of the high length of the continent and its square, Australia has a rather diverse climate. Climatic conditions on the continent are determined by the position of it near the equator, on both sides of the tropical. The mainland is strongly heated and has the status of the very dry continent of the Earth. This can not agree, because the country's vast territory is occupied by extensive desert spaces, which are stretched, almost 2.5 thousand km from the shores of the Indian Ocean to the previations of the Great Waterproof Range.

In general, a hot climate prevails on the Australian continent. The hottest are central regions of the country. For the southeastern part of Australia, the Mediterranean climate is characterized, similar to the climate of European Mediterranean countries - Spain and Southern France. And the most cool part of the country is the island of Tasmania, where a typical British climate reigns - in the summer of Nezarko, and in winter it rake.

The hot climate and a slight precipitation loss leads to the fact that almost 60% of the country's territory is deprived of flow to the ocean and have only a rare network of temporary watercourses. None in any other continent there is no such poorly developed inland Waters, as in Australia. The annual stock of all rivers of the continent is equal to, total, 350 km³.

Since Australia is in the southern hemisphere of the globe, then "Standard", for many, the winter months - from December to March, here are considered in the summer.

So, the summer in Australia begins ... at the end of November - early December. Yes Yes exactly. Summer in Australia is the most arid and hot season. Summer Australia is a big hissing frying pan. The most hot region of Australia is a large sandy desert, where the temperature is almost, the whole summer is holding at + 35 ° C and, even above. In the center of the mainland, in the area of \u200b\u200bthe city of Alice Springs, in the summer, the temperature of the day is often risted to + 45 ° C (!), And drops at night to zero and below -4 - -6 ° C (!).

On the most oblique part of the mainland - Eastern (Brisbane, Golden Coast, Sydney, Newcastle), in the summer season, with rather hot weather often there are strong rains, unlike the West of Australia (Perth) - where in the summer there is a consistently clear hot weather. The day here is about + 28 ° C, and the nights bring freshness and relief - + 14 ° C, while, in Sydney, a little warmer than in Perth - + 17 ° C. Weather in South Australia (Adelaide, Melbourne) in the summer season Soft and sunny: Daily air temperature is +25 - + 28 ° C, almost, the same temperature and water - you can widget sunbathing and swim.

January is the middle of summer in Australia, so we expect a temperature less than + 30 ° C, at this time of the year, here should not, well, for the central regions of the continent, the January norm will be the temperature of B + 40 ° C.

The eastern part of the country is not so hot, the climate here in January is quite favorable, for example, in Sydney Day to + 26 ° C, and at night to + 18 ° C. A little colder will be in January in Melbourne - + 25 ° C, and the night is noticeably cooled to + 13 ° C. On the western part of the country (Perth) is still cloudless, and the air temperature is high, reaches + 32 ° C. But in the north of Australia Summer is the rainy season, in January in Darwin the rain can go until 20 days in a row!

February is the last summer month in Australia. At the same time, in the northern part of the country the weather is more hot than in South. In the eastern part of the country in February, there is still comfortable non-fit weather, in Sydney daily air temperature, on average, about + 26 ° C, and at night + 18 ° C. The water temperature reaches + 22 ° C. In the southern part of Australia, it is also comfortable, for example, in Melbourne, the air warms up to the same mark as in Sydney, but the night is noticeably cooler - + 13 ° C.

The water here is a bit warmer than in Sydney, and is +23 - + 24 ° C.

Autumn in Australia begins at the beginning - mid-March. Autumn is a golden time in Australia: all forests, parks and country nature reserves are transformed into red-gold shades, fascinating eyes. The heat gradually falls, but the swimming season is still ongoing, water as paired milk, and the sea is full of jellyfish: the authorities of the Queensland state, even put special grids on the beaches to protect the swimsters from burns.

In March, in the south of Australia, there is a warm comfortable weather and there is no exhausting heat. For example, in Melbourne the day about + 23 ° C, but at night, the average air temperature drops to + 12 ° C, so there will be more warm things for evening walks. The water off the coast of Melbourne is completely warm, with an average temperature of +21 - + 22 ° C.

On the east coast of Australia, the air temperature also begins to slowly drop. In Sydney, in March, day, on average + 25 ° C, and at night + 17 ° С. But, this month, it is already unlikely to buy anyone, since the water temperature, total, + 19 ° C. In addition, in March, the rainy season begins in Sydney - autumn in the east of Australia is a rather rainy season.

The northern part of Australia also slows down the temperature in the first autumn month. Here at the beginning of the fall there are quite strong thunderstorms, and, for example, in Darwin, still, in March, it is still hot and the air temperature is +30 - + 32 ° С, every third day there is a shower. In the central part of Australia, in March, it is still hot, the average day air temperature in Alice Springs is + 32 ° C, at night, dropped to + 17 ° C. In this part of the country, the effect of autumn is not so noticeable, here, still, hot and arid.

April is the middle of autumn in Australia. In general, the air temperature throughout the country continues to drop - somewhere faster, somewhere slower. It is quite comfortable, and completely nezarko in April on the east coast of Australia - in Sydney Day + 22 ° C, and at night just + 13 ° C. Who wants the weather so much, welcome to Canberra - here in April + 19 ° C day, and + 12 ° С at night.

In May, in Melbourne, day, total, +17 - + 20 ° C, and at night it can get cold to + 10 ° C.

In the central regions of Australia, still, dry, although, in general, the air temperature and here goes to a decline, the average daytime temperature in + 22 ° C in Alice Springs is very difficult to call the temperature of deep autumn.

But, daily fluctuations make themselves felt both in the spring, and at night the temperature decreases exactly 2 times, thus, on average, +16 - + 17 ° C.

Australia arid arid mainland. About 40% of its area receives less than 250 mm of precipitation per year, and about 70% - less than 500 mm per year. For most of the territory of Australia, a few years in a row may not be considerable rains. The most arid area is around Lake Air, in South Australia, where less than 125 mm precipitation drops annually. In many interior areas of Australia, drought are widespread. The most wet area of \u200b\u200bAustralia is located near the Talley region in Queensland, where the wet air rises above the eastern slope of Plateau Atherton - it drops up to 4,500 mm of precipitation per year.

The northern and northeastern part of the continent is distinguished by a large amount of precipitation - up to 1,500 mm, and in some places more than 2,000 mm, which fall out mainly in the summer. In winter, in the dry period of the year, it rains only episodically. The entire region of coastal plains and the eastern slopes of a large waterproof ridge are also well moistened, on average, it drops here from 1,000 to 1,500 mm of precipitation.

The central and western part of Australia are obtained, on average, 250 - 300 mm of precipitation per year. Part of the water dropping here 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.

When to go to Australia. Australia is year-round, for visiting, country, at any time of the year you can choose one or another corner, where the weather will be simply chic. The main thing is not to make a mistake with this choice.

If you are planning to visit the major cities of Australia, such as Canberra, Sydney, Brisbane or go to the excursion tour, the best months for the trip will be September, October and November (Australian Spring), as well as March, April and May (Australian autumn). In the summer months it will be uncomfortable here because of the heat, the winter months will be happy to make their own cool.

Beach holiday lovers, and those who want to fry bones at the famous resorts of Queensland, as well as to plunge into the underwater kingdom of a magnificent big barrier reef will be more suitable for months from December to March (Australian summer). Summer months, also become an ideal choice, both for fans of surfing and for lovers of damphving. In winter, June, July, August) will be pretty cool here, the beach season, at this time, excluded, the remaining months there are quite a lot of precipitation.

In winter, June (June, July, August) in Melbourne and Tasmania is pretty cool, and at other times of the year it rains often.

To visit the central regions of the country, such as Alice Springs, Ayers-Rock, as well as, Desert Territories of Australia, will come in the winter months (June, July, August), when a suffocating heat falls a little, but always it is always worth remembering that hot weather In the afternoon, it absolutely guarantees cold in the evening, and often freezing at night. Going on the trip, keep in mind such a large temperature difference and capture warm things with you. You should not go to these areas in the summer months (December, January, February), the temperature of + 40 ° C in the shade, few people like, and make it difficult for your travel and sightseeing. It is categorically not recommended to go to these desert areas in the summer people who poorly transfer heat !!! It's just dangerous to health!

Cool months - from June to September (Australian winter) can be comfortable to spend on the northern coast of the continent. Here, at this time, it is beautiful, for a beach holiday, weather, rains, practically excluded, and water resembles pair milk. But in the summer (December, January, February), from a trip to this part of Australia it is better to refrain - heavy rains will not allow you to enjoy the amazing nature of this country.

The climate of Australia makes it an attractive place to relax throughout the year. Large sizes of the country 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. Since Australia is located in the southern hemisphere, the order of seasons is mirrored with the 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 the best time to visit the northern regions of the country, including Cairns and Big Barrier Reef, Darwin and Kakada National Park, Burum and Kimberly.

Tropical climatic belt:
Approximately 40% of the territory of Australia is in the zone of tropics. There are only two years of year - tropical summer (rainy season) and drying winter (dry season). Through the tropical part of Australia, Capricorn tropic is held: the tropics include the northern regions of 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
