Typical Weather and Tourism in Australia

Australia is located in the Southern Hemisphere. Being located in the Southern Hemisphere, winter is when summer happens in the Northern Hemisphere and vice versa. The winter solstice occurs on June 21st. Meaning this is the shortest day of the entire year. The average high during this month is 18ºC. The minimum temperature during this month is 14ºC. The type of precipitation you would likely see during the winter solstice would be rain. As June is rainy season in Australia.

In Australia, the summer solstice will occur sometime in December. Again, Australia is located on the Southern Hemisphere so the seasons are switched from the Northern Hemisphere. The exact date for the summer solstice is December 21st. The average maximum during this month is 26ºC. The average minimum temperature during this month is 16ºC. The type of precipitation that we would most likely see during this solstice is nothing really. It would just be really humid during this season.

Unlike in the Northern Hemisphere where the Spring equinox occurs in March, the Southern Hemisphere observes the Spring equinox in September. It happens on September 22nd. The average maximum temperature during this month in Australia is 20ºC. The average minimum temperature during this month is 12ºC. The type of precipitation that is most likely to happen during the equinox is nothing really. There is little to no rain at all. Snow is also absent during this time.

The Autumnal equinox in the Southern Hemisphere is observed during the month of March. It occurs on the 20th day in March. The average maximum temperature during this month is 25ºC. The average minimum temperature during this month is 18ºC. The type of precipitation that would most likely occur during the equinox is nothing. There is lots of sunshine during this season. This is usually the best time to visit the country as the weather makes for great outdoor adventures.

Australia is a very beautiful place to be in. Tourism is what makes majority of their economy. If you want to go visit Australia and get the most bang for your buck, you should visit the country during the month of March. Like I stated in my last paragraph, March is when the autumnal equinox occurs. The temperatures are of the highest during the year and makes for lots of outdoor activities, hotel chilling, and lots of other activities. Some of the activities you could do during this time is you could visit theme parks. This would make a great activity as there is little to no rainfall during this time. Another activity best during this time is go to a scenic cruise. This makes it a great activity because the weather is not too warm or too cold.

Some of the weather hazards you might see during this time of the year is the occurrence of brush fires. This is because this is the warmest and also the driest time of the year. Humidity levels are not very high. Also, a heatwave is likely to happen. But it isn't that high of a risk. The weather during this time in Australia is very similar to the weather in Hawaii, warm.

There's just nothing like Australia.
