Arabiaweather.com - Ismail Ghasemi - When is the best time to visit Australia? The answer is not as simple as it seems, because it may change depending on the region you will be traveling to and according to your budget, tastes and requirements in the ideal climate for travel.
There are some important factors when you want to determine the best time to travel to Australia for holidays, and the first thing is to determine the places you want to visit and the things you want to see or do there, and then know the nature of the weather.
Seasons in Australia
Spring : September-November. (nice atmosphere)
Summer : December-February. (very hot)
Autumn : March-May (nice weather)
Winter : June-August. (cool, but not too cold)
As we note, the seasons are reversed from the north of the globe, so many tourists choose to visit Australia in the summer between December and February when the winter is very cold in their northern countries.
temperatures in Australia
First of all, you should know that Australia is larger than Europe and a little smaller than the US, so there are huge differences in temperature across Australia and if you travel further north (closer to the equator) you will get much hotter temperatures.
There are cooler areas and are among the most visited tourist destinations in Australia in places such as Uluru or Canberra, where temperatures reach zero degrees during winter nights in July and August, and snow falls in the Australian Alps, but there is no snowfall in Australian cities.
Seasons in northern Australia (tropical zone)
Wet season : November-May. (Most precipitation falls in January, February and March).
Dry season : June-October.
The tropics of Australia are located north of the Tropic of Capricorn, and include cities such as Cairns and Darwin, and if you are going to travel to these cities, you should consider the possibility of rain.
If you want to explore the remote areas of Kakadu National Park in the far north, it is best to avoid the wet season. But if diving the Great Barrier Reef is on your list, it's important to be traveling in the rainy season.
