What is the coldest temperature in Australia?

The coldest in Australia is probably 10 degrees.

Australia is located in the southern hemisphere. Compared with China, the time difference is only 2-3 hours, but the seasons are completely opposite. 65438+February-February is summer, March-May is autumn, June-August is winter, and September-165438+1October is spring. The annual average temperature is 27℃ in the north and 14℃ in the south, and the lowest temperature is about 10℃.

Australia's Tropic of Capricorn runs through the central part of the mainland, and 99% of its area is tropical and subtropical, which makes the temperature warm and hot all year round, and the desert area with little rain is particularly vast.

The outline of the Australian continent is relatively complete, which increases the distance from the inland to the ocean, reaching more than 1500 kilometers at the maximum, which affects the penetration of ocean air into the inland. In addition, Australia's land contour is long from east to west and narrow from north to south, which expands the area controlled by the southeast trade wind belt, and there are no vast rivers and lakes in the inland, which makes most areas more dry and hot. Topographically, the vast central and western regions are relatively flat, with little fluctuation, less cyclone rotation and stable weather, which is not easy to cause rainfall, thus narrowing the climate difference between the vast central and western regions.

Climatic characteristics of Australia

Judging from the atmospheric circulation, the summer high pressure zone in the Australian continent moves southward, the northern part of the continent is the center of thermal low pressure, and the southern backflow high pressure zone is located in the southern part of the continent, so the northwest monsoon blows in the north, which is hot and rainy; Southeast wind blows in the south-central part of the mainland, which is hot and dry; Only the eastern slopes of the mainland face the wind and have more precipitation.

In winter, the pressure belt moves northward and combines with the land cold high pressure. The high pressure center is located in the northern inland of the mainland. Most of the mainland is covered by high pressure, and the wind blows from the center of high pressure, so it is dry and rainy. Only the southwest and southeast corners of the mainland blow westerly winds from the sea, and there are many cyclones and rainy weather. The eastern hillside is still windward, with more precipitation. Tasmania is located in the south of 40 south latitude, with westerly winds all the year round, and belongs to a temperate maritime climate.
