“The Wildcard Season”
Australia's seasons are opposite to those in the Northern Hemisphere. The country's summer months are December, January, and February, while its winter months are June, July, and August. Autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November) are the transitional seasons.
Covering approximately 70% of the continent, the "Outback" is characterized by low rainfall and high evaporation rates. This zone is known for extreme diurnal temperature ranges—scorching days followed by frigid nights—particularly during the winter months.
Australian weather is heavily influenced by large-scale oceanic and atmospheric phenomena.
