Climate in Australia is generally pleasant without extremes in temperatures. Divided into two climatic zones. About 40% of Australia lies in the tropical zone i.e. above the Tropic of Capricorn. The remaining areas lie in the temperate zone. Australia’s size being vast so it is but natural that there are variations within these two zones.
Summer starts in December and winter begins in July, spring is in September and autumn begins in March! As a result, Christmas is generally spent on the beach. The four seasons in the temperate zone are spring and summer from September/October to March, autumn and winter from April to September.
