I. Climatic characteristics of Australia

Australia is located in the southern hemisphere. Although the time difference with China (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) is only 2-3 hours, the seasons are completely opposite. 65438+February-February is summer, March-May is autumn, June-August is winter, and September-165438+1October is spring. The annual average temperature in the north is 27℃, and that in the south is 65438 04℃.

Australia spans two climatic zones, and the north is tropical. Because it is close to the equator, 65438+10-February is the typhoon period. Southern Australia belongs to temperate zone. The midwest of Australia is a barren desert with drought, little rain, high temperature and large temperature difference. In coastal areas, there is abundant rainfall and humid climate.

Second, the regional location.

Australia is located between the South Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, and consists of islands and overseas territories such as Australia and Tasmania. It borders the Coral Sea and tasman sea in the Pacific Ocean in the east, and the Indian Ocean and its marginal seas in the west, north and south. It is the only country in the world that monopolizes a continent.

Australia faces New Zealand across the tasman sea in the east, Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands across the Coral Sea in the northeast, and Indonesia and East Timor across the Arafura Sea and Timor Sea in the north.
