Climate Change
Climate Change: Australia’s weather effects the climate change. They are already the driest inhabited continent on earth, heavily exposed to the dangers of extreme heat and drought. They are home to many globally important and vulnerable ecological systems. Australians are mainly coastal dwellers. Their industries and urban centres face ongoing water limitations. They’re economy, including food production and agriculture, is under threat..
Rain percentage
Australia’s rain percentage: Australia is an essentially arid continent, with 80% of the land having a rainfall less than 600 millimetres per year and 50% having even less than 30 millimetres per year. Australia is in the southern hemisphere so our seasons are opposite from the northern hemisphere; this means that Christmas in Australia is in summer when it’s hot, and summers can get quite a bit hotter than they do in the northern hemisphere.
seasons
There’s also a ‘wet’ and a ‘dry’ season in Australia’s northern tropical areas. The wet season occurrs between November and April, and the dry season between May and October.
If you like hot weather Australia’s north is where you should go. Northern Australia encompasses desert and tropical regions across three states and territories – Western Australia, the Northern Territory and Queensland.
summer
Australia in the summer: A four-month heat wave during the Australian summer came in January in bush fires that tore through the eastern and southeastern coasts of the country, where most Australians live. Those record-setting temperatures were followed by torrential rains and flooding in the more densely populated states of New South Wales and Queensland that left at least six people dead and caused roughly $2.43 billion in damage along the eastern seaboard.
