The seasons are reversed south of the equator so Summer is in December and Winter is in July.
It has to do with the tilt of the Earth's axis.
In June, the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun which means it receives more hours of sunshine than the southern hemisphere and is therefore warmer than the southern hemisphere.
In December, the Southern Hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun, receiving more hours of sunshine and is therefore warmer.
Parts of Australia - particularly the northern regions, which are closer to the equater - are not cold in the winter.
Souther America and Australia have warm weather in December because they are located in the southern hemisphere. That means that their seasons are the opposite of say, North America's. In the other half of the year their side of the planet is tilted, on the earth's axis towards the sun.
Australia, on the whole, is not cold. The only cold parts are areas of high elevation, such as the Australian Alps and regions of Tasmania.
Even during the winter months of June, July and August, much of coastal northern Australia remains very mild and warm.
The 23.5 tilt of the Earth on its axis causes the countries in the two hemispheres namely the Northern and Southern hemispheres to receive unbalanced amounts of sunlight, thus causing different temperatures which results in different seasons in different hemispheres at the same point of time. Therefore, when the countries in the Northern hemisphere experience (Spring/summer/Autumn/Winter),the countries in the Southern hemisphere will experience (Autumn/Winter/Spring/summer) respectively.
In June, Australia in the Southern hemisphere receives less direct sunlight,so it experiences Winter, while Italy in the Northern hemisphere receives more direct sunlight resulting in Summer.

The northern and southern hemispheres experience summer and winter during opposite times on the calendar. That is, when the north is having summer, the south gets winter and vice versa.
The reason for this is because of the tilt in the axis of Earth's spin. If Earth spun on an axis with no tilt, there would be no seasons at all. With a slight tilt as we have, then during half of the trip around the Sun, the north pole tilts to see the sun and more sunlight falls on the northern hemisphere, making it warmer than average (summer). Meanwhile, the south pole is not seeing the Sun and Australia is getting less light than usual, making it colder. When the Earth orbits to the point where the south pole sees the Sun, Australia gets summer and the north gets winter.
The southern hemisphere has its season at opposite times to those in the northern hemisphere. When it is summer in the northern hemisphere, that hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, resulting in hotter temperatures and longer days. The effect of this in the southern hemisphere is that, being tilted away from the sun, the days are shorter and cooler. Subsequently, when the northern hemisphere has its winter, Australia and the southern hemisphere is tilted more towards the sun, resulting in its summer.
Australia is not hot in winter. There are many good skiing and winter sports areas in Australia's high country, while snowfalls are common in winter in the Blue Mountains and the NSW central highlands towns such as Orange. The southern area of Australia is quite cold in winter.
December 25 is in the middle of summer in Australia. Australia is in the Southern Hemisphere, where the seasons are opposite to those in the northern hemisphere.
When it is winter in France, it is summer in Australia.
winter in America in the Northern Hemisphere will be summer in Australia in the southern Hemisphere
New Zealand & Australia
August is the last month of winter in Australia. Winter is June, July and August.
Australia's winter begins on June 1 and continues for the months of June, July and August. 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.
What is your exact question?Australia is hot during the English winter because it is SUMMER in Australia, being in the Earth's Southern Hemisphere. It is summer in Southern Africa and Latin America, too.Or were you asking why Australia is 'hot' during its own winter, from June to September? Firstly, some parts of Australia are quite cold in winter! Secondly, it is not as cold in winter as it is here simply because Australia is closer to the Equator than England is and therefore has a warmer climate.Hope this answers your question.
All over Australia during the US winter time it is extremely hot. so summer clothes because it is summertime there.
because Australia is on the other side of the world with the exact opposite seasons as us, so when its winter here its summer there.
Australia is in the southern hemisphere, Japan is in the northern hemisphere, so if it is summer in Australia, it must be winter in Japan.
A dry arid climate dominates central Australia. This means there is minimal precipitation, while summers are intensely hot, and winter nights are bitterly cold.
All of Australia has winter.
When it is winter in France, it is summer in Australia.
