Australia experiences a variety of temperatures, from very hot to very cold. The highest recorded temperature in Australia occurred at Cloncurry in western Queensland in January 1889: 53.1 °C (127.5 °F). The world heat record goes to Marble Bar in Western Australia, which recorded maximum temperatures equalling or exceeding 37.8°C on 161 consecutive days, between 30 October 1923 and 7 April 1924. However, this is an extreme.

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 hot and humid summers. By contrast, Tasmania and parts of Victoria can experience both very cool summer temperatures, then sudden jumps to extreme heat in excess of 44 degrees Celsius - bushfire season. Inconsistency is the catchword in Australia - for example, Melbourne and southern Victoria can easily switch from hot and dry one day to cold and wet the next.

Very few places in Australia experience snow, compared to the size of the continent. In Winter, snow falls in the Alpine regions of New South Wales and Victoria, and sometimes even in the central tablelands of NSW, near the Blue Mountains and Orange. Tasmania experiences some snow, as does Canberra, less frequently.

Much of Australia is hot during the summer. It is particularly hot and dry in the south during summer, while it is hot and humid in the north.

During winter, it remains hot in the far north.

No. The heat levels depend on one's locality, and the season. in the north it remains warm to hot all year around, but temperatures in the temperate zones further south fluctuate widely.
