Figure 35. The range of climate regimes of the world
presented in terms of mean annual temperature and precipitation. The inner
shaded area covers essentially all the climate regimes of Australia. The
warm rainfall peak corresponds to parts of the Queensland northern coast
while the cooler peak relates to the heavy rainfall areas on the Tasmanian
west coast. For Melbourne, Brisbane and Darwin the chart also shows the
envelope of the annual means for all of the individual years in the climate
record.
