The Weather
in Australia Information
The Australian temperature changes with every season, but
generally it varies as low as sub zero and as high as 50
degree celsius temperature.
There are two climatic zones: the tropical zone (in
the north above the Tropic of Capricorn) and the temperate
zone.
The weather in Australia of the tropical zone (consisting
of 40% of Australia) has two seasons:
• The dry season
• The wet season
• The dry Australia weather lasts for about six months
in winter and autumn, generally in between May-October.
The temperature during this season remains low plus
the skies remain clearer in day. The normal temperature
is approximately 20 degrees Celsius.

six months in spring and summer, between December-March.
The average temperature during wet weather ranges between
30-50 degrees Celsius. The wet season runs in the north
of the country from November to April.
Rain
When it comes to rain, majority of the rain falls during
winter months i.e. in between May- August. It tends
to drizzle more during night as compared during the
daytime. During summers there is hardly any downpour.
The northern one-third of the country is tropical,
while the southern regions are temperate. Because of
the size of Australia, summer and winter climates vary
from area to area, but this means there is always some
region where the climate is ideal, making it a great
year-round tours destination.
