Australia is experiencing the coldest start to winter in forty years after parts of the country were buried under a foot of snow. Temperatures plunged as low as minus nine degrees Celsius as the alpine resorts of Perisher and Thredbo in New South Wales disappeared underneath a blanket of snow on Monday evening.
The hottest months in Australia are therefore December, January and February. In these months, you might like to head south to escape the heat. The coldest months are June, July and August - a perfect time to explore up north. The wet season runs in much of the north of the country from November to April, whereas Townsville's (described as the Dry Tropics) has a wet season that is shorter, usually mid-December to end of March.
