Because Australia is in the southern hemisphere, the seasons are opposite to those in Europe and North America. Australia is often referred to as a land of diversity in terms of climate: from tropical rainforests, to golden beaches, to sparse deserts, to vast grazing lands to the rich coral ...
Even without understanding every zone and sub-zone on the map, one can get an idea of the diversity of climate that Australia possesses. There are tropics, grasslands, desert, and temperate zones all within a land area roughly the size of the United States. A climate map of Australia based...
In a warming world, sun-baked regions like Greece, Southern Italy and parts of Australia may struggle to maintain their traditional wine identities and some may fall off the map completely. However, when one door shuts, another opens and regions which have historically been too cool are beginnin...
However, there have been only few attempts to map the spatial distribution of the factors driving vulnerability to climate change. Here we conduct a species-level assessment of climate change vulnerability for a sample of Australia's threatened species and map the distribution of species affected by...
This map certainly gives you a better overview of the climate zones in Australia than my descriptions. Anyway, thecentral partsof Australia have hot summers with temperatures of 40°C and more during the day, while the average day time temps in winter are around 20°C. At night temperatures...
Climate change threatens the health and survival of urban trees and the various benefits they deliver to urban inhabitants. Here, we show that 56% and 65% of species in 164 cities across 78 countries are currently exceeding temperature and precipitation conditions experienced in their geographic rang...
(blue lines). The insert map of Australia shows all sites mentioned in the text: the three long (≥150 kyr) continuous records of environmental change are denoted by open circles, other records of environmental change by squares, megafaunal sites by open diamonds and the triangle denotes ...
Climate change alters the future of natural floristic regions of deep evolutionary origins Article Introduction Trees are pivotal to the biosphere and human well-being, e.g., via carbon sequestration and habitat provision for plants and animals1,2,3,4,5. However, globally, the majority of tree...

Several map makers are making climate change data more accessible. Probable Futures illustrates projected climate impact in a personal way for every person, no matter where they live in the world. FloodFactor takes climate and flood models, and assesses risk for every structure in the U.S., an...
