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.
