What is the weather like in Australia in Winter?

Answer 1

January is summer in Australia. In the south, and inland, it is hot and dry. In the far north, the monsoonal rains bring tropical downpours and humid weather. Along the east coast from central Queensland down to Sydney, it is also hot and humid, and often subject to sudden storms. These storms may bring large lumps of hail and even tornado-like conditions.

Along Australia's northern coast, from Western Australia around to the Coral Sea off Queensland, cyclones frequently form. These may approach land, as they have done during the 2010-2011 La Nina weather season, or they may not affect the coastline at all.

In the west, they may experience summer rain storms or hot and dry weather.

In the far south however, it can still be quite cool to cold in places such as Tasmania in January, and summer snowfalls can and do occur (rarely) in the mountains. This is very unusual, and not "regular" Australian weather in summer.

Answer 2

Australian weather in December is very hot, except in Tasmania, where temperatures can still drop to 15 degrees Celsius or less. Tasmania also has summer days of excessive heat. The rest of the nation can experience hot and dry weather, with the threat of bushfires, or hot and humid weather, with severe storms. As Darwin experienced in 1974, December can be a time for cyclones as well.

Answer 3

Australia's winter begins on June 1 and continues for the months of June, July and August. It tends to be marked by dry and cool conditions in the northern half of the continent, and much colder and wetter conditions in the southern half. In the far tropical north of Australia, winter is less easily defined. There tends to just be a dry season, which extends from May through to September/October, contrasted with the wet season for the remainder of the year.
