Christmas Day, December 25th in Australia is at the start of their summer season.
The Summer season in the Southern Hemisphere begins on December 21st or 22nd each year.
This of course is the exact opposite of the northern hemisphere, where the Winter season begins on December 21st or 22nd each year.
Christmas occurs during the season of summer in Australia, as Australia's summer begins on 1 December and finishes at the end of February. As a result, Christmas in most areas of Australia can be very hot.
The country is New Zealand. The pohutukawa is not actually a Christmas tree. It is a tree that blossoms at Christmas time
Barbeques, often shortened to BBQ, are popular in Australia at Christmas. A Christmas ham or turkey can be done very effectively in an outdoor barbeque. As Christmas falls during the Australian summer, the weather is perfect for this.
Australia is a vast country, and there is no set temperature it can be at Christmas time. Summers throughout the country vary, and even in the south they can change from one day to the next. Temperatures in the south (oddly enough) can be among the hottest at Christmas, easily exceeding 42 degrees Celsius for many days at a time, and contributing to severe bushfire conditions. It must be remembered, however, that not all of Australia experiences this extreme of heat. Many areas of Australia are pleasant to live in, with temperatures rarely being uncomfortably hot. An average for Christmas in Brisbane, capital of Queensland, is around 30 degrees Celsius, but the likelihood of high humidity makes this temperature more uncomfortable.
Yes. Like all countries founded on Christianity, Christmas is celebrated every year in Australia on 25 December. The main difference between Australia and most other countries is that Christmas falls in summer, and many parts of the country are very hot at that time.
Yule means Christmas, or the Christmas season. It comes from the Old English word, geola, which was a pagan feast that occurred around the same time Christmas does now.
At Christmas time, it is summer in Australia. The weather is warm. Picnics and cookouts are common
Cricket is one of the most popular Australian sports at Christmas time.
Australian Christmases can vary greatly, but the one thing that remains constant is that Christmas falls during the summer. Australia is a vast country, so the weather on Christmas Day will vary according to which part of Australia one is in, and the prevailing conditions of the time. The weather at Christmas is usually within the range of very warm to even hotter. In the north, the weather is hot and humid, as it is the monsoon season, and December is one of the months when cyclones may hit anywhere from along Queensland's central coast, north through the Gulf country and over to the northwestern coast of Western Australia. The city of Darwin was devastated by a cyclone on Christmas Day 1974. In the south, Christmas is prime bushfire time, when temperatures can be excessively hot, and heatwaves may continue for weeks. Central Australia is also very hot and dry during this time. Tasmania and other regions of southern Australia can fluctuate quite widely, from cool and pleasant to hot and dry.
