What is the coldest temperature in Australia in winter?

Australia has a mild climate for most of the year, but the mainland is vast, and the climate in different regions will be different.

The highest temperature on land can reach more than 50 degrees Celsius, and the lowest temperature is around 2 degrees Celsius, rarely falling below 0 degrees Celsius.

The Tropic of Capricorn runs through all cities in Australia. For the area north of the Tropic of Capricorn, it belongs to the tropical zone, and the temperature is much higher than other parts of Australia, and the temperature difference between day and night is obvious. South of the Tropic of Capricorn, the climate is mild, and there are four distinct seasons, so people can experience the elegance of spring, summer, autumn and winter. Because Australia's geographical position is relative to China's, the changes of the four seasons are also diametrically opposed.

Extended data:

Australia is in the southern hemisphere. The climate and seasons in the southern hemisphere are just the opposite to those in the northern hemisphere, that is, September-165438+10 is spring, 65438+February-February is summer, March-May is autumn, and June-August is winter. Because the Tropic of Capricorn passes through the central part of the Australian mainland, from the wind belt of the pressure belt, the area near the Tropic of Capricorn is mainly controlled by the subtropical high belt, with scarce precipitation and dry climate, forming a tropical desert climate, while there is relatively more precipitation near the coastal areas.

Australia is surrounded by the sea and scattered near the equator, so the climate type is more complicated. But on the whole, Australia is warmer and has no harsh climate characteristics.

Generally, the highest temperature in summer is around 30℃. Of course, the northern coast is tropical, humid and hot. Australia has abundant sunshine and strong ultraviolet rays. The strongest time of ultraviolet radiation is from 1 1 to 4 pm, and the skin will soon get sunburned if it is not covered by sunlight. The temperature in the Australian outback in summer is not lower than that in the Sahara Desert. Stout in the middle is the hottest place in Oceania, with the highest temperature reaching 55℃.

The whole Australian continent is dry and short of water, with an average annual precipitation of only 460 mm, which is the driest in the inhabited continent and prone to fire. The precipitation in Antarctica is lower than that in Africa, accounting for only 3/5 of the annual precipitation, while the area with annual precipitation less than 250 mm accounts for 35% of Australia's total area, which is very large.
