What do you have in Australia all year round?

65438+February-February is summer, March-May is autumn, June-August is winter, and September-165438+1October is spring.

Australia is located in the southern hemisphere. Although the time difference with China (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) is only 2-3 hours, the seasons are completely opposite. The annual average temperature in the north is 27℃, and that in the south is 65438 04℃.

Australia spans two climatic zones, and the north is tropical. Because it is close to the equator, 65438+10-February is the typhoon period. Southern Australia belongs to temperate zone. The midwest of Australia is a barren desert with drought, little rain, high temperature and large temperature difference. In coastal areas, there is abundant rainfall and humid climate.

Murray river and Darling River are the two longest rivers in Australia. These two water systems constitute the Murray-Darling Basin, with an area of over 1 10,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to 14% of the total area of the mainland. The longest river is Murray River, which is 2589 kilometers long. Aier Lake is a huge salt lake near the center of the mainland, with an area of over 9000 km ㎡, but it has been dry for a long time.

Australia is the driest continent in the world, and the drinking water is mainly natural precipitation, relying on dams to store water and supply water. The government forbids the use of groundwater, because once it is exploited, it is difficult to recover it. From 2006 to 2009, the impact of El Ni? o expanded, resulting in a significant decrease in rainfall. Major cities in Australia are generally short of water, and a number of laws restricting water use have been promulgated one after another to save water to tide over the drought.
