What is Australia's summer like?

Answer 1

There is a great deal of variety within Australia's climate any time if year, and this includes summer. Most of the continent lies within the temperate zone, but northern Queensland and the Top End of the Northern Territory experience a tropical and sub-tropical climate, with monsoonal rains and cyclones during the summer. By contrast, Tasmania and parts of Victoria can experience both very cool summer temperatures, then sudden jumps to extreme heat.
