Australian climates

The climate of an area or region can be classified in many ways depending on your interests and needs. For example, you may have health concerns (thermal comfort), be interested in seasonal rainfall intensity or need to use a vegetation related classification. The maps show examples of these classifications as they apply to Australia.
