What are the climate types and characteristics of Australia?

Australia’s climate types are savanna climate in the north, tropical rainforest climate in the northeast, and savannah climate in the south. Its climate characteristics are that the central and western parts of Australia are desolate deserts with drought and little rain, high temperatures and large temperature differences; in the coastal areas, there is abundant rainfall and a humid climate.

Australia is located in the Southern Hemisphere. Although the time difference with China is only 2-3 hours, the seasons are completely opposite. Summer is from December to February, autumn is from March to May, winter is from June to August, and spring is from September to November. The average annual temperature is 27°C in the north and 14°C in the south.

The causes of Australia’s climate.

1. The cause of the tropical grassland climate in northern Australia is that the equatorial low pressure belt moves southward in summer, low pressure appears on the Australian continent, and the northeast trade winds in the northern hemisphere deflect across the equator into northwest monsoons, coming from the low-latitude ocean, forming rich Precipitation, entering the rainy season in winter: the subtropical high moves northward, the Australian continent is controlled by the subtropical high, and the north is controlled by the southeast trade wind belt. The southeast trade wind comes from the inland, with less precipitation, and enters the dry season.

2. The cause of the tropical rainforest climate in northeastern Australia is the southeast trade wind from the ocean, which brings sufficient water vapor and forms abundant precipitation due to the uplift of the terrain; there is also the East Australian Warm Current along the coast Flows through, increasing temperature and humidity.

3. The climate of the savanna in southern Australia is controlled by the subtropical high and the westerly wind belt. It belongs to the transition type between tropical desert and Mediterranean climate. However, due to the lower latitude, higher temperature and stronger evaporation, a savanna is formed. landscape.
