Weather and Climate

Seasons in Australia are the opposite of those in Europe. Summer runs from November through to March while winter is from May to August.

There are, however, huge variations throughout the country: New South Wales, the centre of Western Australia and Queensland have hot summers and mild winters but Victoria and Tasmania can experience chilly winters, combined with short days.

The dry interior is hot year-round during the day but come nightfall it can become very cold. In the north, as the country enters the tropics, there are just two seasons - the dry from May to September and the wet from December to March.
