When to go to Australia?
Australia has several types of climate along with reversed seasons as the country is located in the southern hemisphere. Largely arid, the climate can be tropical in the north, while temperate in the south and east of the country. It is hot and humid from October to March, with temperatures exceeding 30°C in the north, whereas you can ski between June and August in the south.
Wit hits huge territory, Australia is subject to several types of climate. Consequently, on the northern coast a tropical climate holds sway with a dry season running from May to mid-October with dry, warm months, and a wet season from November to March, with hot, (temperatures exceeding 30°C) wet (15-20 days of rain per month) months. The months from January to March are to be avoided owing to the heavy rainfall and risks of cyclones.
On the eastern coast, including Sydney, the climate is typically humid subtropical with rainfall which is spread all throughout the year together with hot days (from 12 °C to 25 °C).
In the south-east of the mainland, particularly in the Tasmania region, the climate is of the temperate variety, with very distinct seasons. The winters are in the months of June and July and are often cold and humid with snowfall at altitude making it possible to go skiing. Summer here is quite mild with warm temperatures.
The south-west by contrast enjoys a Mediterranean climate with winter rainfall in April to October and hot and dry summers (being able to sometimes reach a shade temperature of 30°C in Broome).
Finally, the climate is arid in the outback, with scorching temperatures during summer and milder temperatures during the winter between May and August.
For a trip to Australia , it is therefore best to take advantage of spring and autumn to visit the country; you will then be able to avoid the hot summer months
