Weather in Australia

Australia's geographical size is so large and climate in different places varies depending on where you are. It can range from tropical to desert all the way to temperate. Living in Perth, I would say the climate here is more of a temperate-type and I love it.

There are 4 seasons here and you can actually see them go by and there is actually a certain feel in each. For example, while I'm writing this post, the winter had just passed, and we are bridging out into springtime. Spring begins in September in Perth and during this season, the colors of the environment are just lovely, it is wonderful. Flowers are everywhere in different colors - red, yellow, lavender - even if you just drove along the streets not to mention if you actually drove outside of the metropolitan area, there will be a lot of colorful wild flowers all over around. The weather really impacts the type of flora.

Then after spring, summer comes in December which can really be quite warm. The people will then hangout at the beaches for refreshing afternoon sea breeze. Bodies of waters are really very nice, you can cool down on the river, sea, or like many people homes here, they cool down in their own swimming pools.

In March, autumn begins. I would say this is my favorite season because I find it mild with blue skies, not too windy, plants and tress' colors change and their leaves drop. This time, the daytime is still sunny but the nights are cooler.

Then in June comes winter, the coldest part of the year. I find winter very important because it gives the land a time to rejuvenate and recover a lot of water that is lacking in a lot of months. Rain cleanses things up, fills the dams with water which will last for the remainder of the year.

The seasons change, things change, and the clothes people wear change in line with the season. One thing I find which I really appreciate about the weather in Perth is the fact that air has very much lower humidity. Because the humidity is low, the air is lighter, therefore it is easier to breathe. If you want to be more scientific about that, if there is less water and more air, there will be more Oxygen in the air. Generally this will affect you and your sense of well-being. You go out and exercise and you find that your body can able to take in more Oxygen and your body can do a lot more. You will feel more energetic because you do not have to fight the weather like what you experience if you are in a humid environment.

If you are migrating to Australia and weather is a big factor in making a decision on which place you will settle, I highly suggest you come to Perth. I've been to a lot of places in Australia and I still, always believe that I made a fantastic choice on where to live.
