Extended information

Australia is located in the Southern Hemisphere. Although the time difference with China is only 2-3 hours, the seasons are completely opposite. Summer is from December to February, autumn is from March to May, winter is from June to August, and spring is from September to November. The average annual temperature is 27°C in the north and 14°C in the south.

Australia spans two climate zones. The northern part is tropical. Because it is close to the equator, January to February is the typhoon period. Southern Australia belongs to the temperate zone. The central and western parts of Australia are desolate deserts with drought and little rainfall, high temperatures and large temperature differences; in the coastal areas, there is abundant rainfall and a humid climate.
