    Because the cold current in Western Australia does not meet with the warm current to form rainfall, it is relatively dry, and Australia also has a large desert, and the eastern climate is suitable for human habitation.

    The average annual rainfall in Australia is 465 mm, and the annual rainfall varies widely and unevenly. The driest region is the Lake Eyre basin, with an average annual rainfall of less than 125 mm. The wettest places are in the north-eastern tropics and south-west Tasmania.

    Australia's coastal areas are abundant in water and fertile land, with most people living along the coast. Australians have very different climates from place to place. The northern part of the continent has a humid tropical climate, the east** region and the western coast have a warm and not too hot climate, while the south coast of the continent and Tasmania have cooler climates.

    Overall, there are warm summers and not-so-cold winters across Australia. The warmest place on record in Australia was in the north-eastern interior of Crooncari, where temperatures reached 53 degrees Celsius in 1889. The coldest place is Charlotte Pass, where in 1994 the lowest temperature in the snow near Mount Corciaros was minus 23 degrees Celsius.

    Australia's climate is milder than in Europe or the Americas, especially in the north, and the climate is similar to that of Southeast Asia and the Pacific. In Queensland, the Northern Territory and Western Australia, the average temperature in January (midsummer) is 29°C during the day and 20°C at night. The average temperature in July (midwinter) is about 22 degrees Celsius and 10 degrees Celsius respectively. New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia experience average daytime temperatures of around 26°C in January and 16°C at night, compared to 15°C and 7°C respectively in July.

    First of all, there is a large watershed in eastern Australia that blocks the entry of moist water vapour from the Pacific Ocean.

    Secondly, the Western Australian Snap in the Western Sea of Australia has a warming and humidifying effect, which aggravates the drought in Australia.

    Finally, Australia is controlled by the subtropical high pressure zone, which has an arid climate with less precipitation.

    The Western Australian cold snap is dry, leaving Western Australia with large areas of desert.

    The western part is affected by the Western Australian cold snap (which has a dehumidifying effect), and the eastern part is blocked by the watershed, which makes precipitation scarce in the vast inland areas and the west

    Controlled by the subtropical high pressure zone, a downdraft prevails.

    Mainly inland deserts. Plus the impact of the eastern watershed.

    1.Northern savannah climate: the equatorial low pressure zone moves southward in summer, low pressure occurs over the Australian continent, and the northeast trade winds of the Northern Hemisphere cross the equator.

    2.Northeast Tropical Rainforest Climate The southeast trade winds from the ocean bring abundant water vapor and are abundant by the uplift of the terrain.

    3.The climate of the southern savannah is controlled by the subtropical high and westerly wind belt, and belongs to the transitional type of tropical desert and Mediterranean climate, but due to the low latitude, the temperature.

    4.Mediterranean climate in the southwest and southeast Southwest: alternately controlled by subtropical highs and westerly winds; Southeast: Although located in the southeast, its western part is coastal.

    5.Temperate Oceanic Climate in the Southeast Temperate oceanic climate is generally distributed in the western part of the 40-60 continents, where it is located in the southeast, but.

    I'm coming to you! Characteristics: (1) The distribution of climate is a semi-circular distribution with an opening to the west.

    2) Large drought area (3) Semi-circular distribution of precipitation (4) General warmth Causes: (1) Latitude location and continental contour: a Continental contour:

    It is narrow from north to south and wide from east to west. b Land and sea location: Indian Ocean to the west and Pacific Ocean to the east.

    2) Topography: The mountains are on the eastern coast, and the central and western regions lack tall mountains, so that they are not affected by the barrier effect of the large terrain, and the climate zone is distributed in a zonal direction. The eastern watershed acts as a barrier to the warm and humid airflow over the Pacific Ocean, preventing the airflow from going westward and inland, and at the same time causing more precipitation on the eastern slope of the mountain.

    3) Ocean current: the eastern part is affected by the warm current of East Australia, which warms and humidifies; The western part is affected by the cold snap of Western Australia, which reduces temperature and humidity. (4) Atmospheric circulation:

    a The high passes through the middle of the continent, increasing the extent of the pressure zone to control the continent, and the subtropical high is controlled by the subsidence of the subtropical high, which makes Australia's climate dry and hot. b The southeast trade winds come from the South Pacific and are warm and humid.

    1. Australia's climate is milder than Europe or the Americas, especially in the north, and the climate is similar to Southeast Asia and the South Pacific, in Queensland, the northern region and Western Australia, the average temperature in January is 29 degrees Celsius during the day and 20 degrees Celsius at night, while the average temperature in the middle of winter in July is 22 degrees Celsius and 10 degrees Celsius at night. Tasmania and South Australia average temperatures of around 26 degrees Celsius during the day and 16 degrees Celsius at night in January, while the average temperature in July is 15 degrees Celsius and 7 degrees Celsius at night.

    2. Living in Australia, you generally only need to wear light clothes in summer, but sometimes you need to add potatoes to change your coat at night, and in winter in southern Australia.
