Does it snow in Australia in winter?

It rarely snows in Australia in winter. Although Australia has winter, since most of its areas are in the tropical and subtropical regions, the temperature can still remain above 10 degrees, and there is basically no snow. It only snows in some high mountain areas in the south. The Australian Bureau of Meteorology said this snowfall, and such heavy snowfall, is very unusual. In addition, the eastern coastline will also experience severe weather such as strong winds and heavy rain.

Australian climate:

Australia spans two climate zones. The northern part is tropical. Due to its proximity to the equator, January to February is the typhoon period. Southern Australia belongs to the temperate zone. The central and western parts of Australia are desolate deserts with drought, little rain, high temperatures and large temperature differences.

In the coastal zone, there is abundant rainfall and a humid climate. Australia is located in the southern hemisphere, with summer from December to February, autumn from March to May, winter from June to August, and spring from September to November. The average annual temperature is 27°C in the north and 14°C in the south.
