Hmm, I thought summer was your favourite. You also changed your mind on Florida being your favourite climate. You get softer by the day. Maybe you just need to learn a bit more. Also, yes. People can change their minds you know.

Humid sub-tropical climate.  Wollongong is only just south of the southern extent of the Cfa climate on the east-coast of Australia (Sydney is in the Cfa climate zone), so I have personally experienced the climate before. Definitely not too my liking!

@slowpoke1993 FFS im triggered I have to explain this. Do you know how broad Koppens climate classifications are? Just because I say I like Humid Subtropical (Cfa) climates, it doesnt mean I like Florida's climate specifically, because all Cfa climates are far from being the same. If you actually paid any attention to the map, you would also notice Washington DC is also classified as a 'Cfa' climate? Now, Im pretty sure everyone already knows DC and Florida have quite different climates, dont you?  Why dont you try growing a Coconut palm in DC and tell me how well it goes?

Most of the deciduous trees/plants at my house started turning a few weeks ago now. They have seemingly gone a little earlier this year to years previous, but that could be very well down to the lack of substantial water they have received during the past 8-10 months. Hopefully this Winter we get a decent downpour otherwise we are in serious trouble come next Summer. Do trees there change colour before falling, or do they just fall? Also, I thought March 1st was supposed to be autumn there. If April is supposed to be an early autumn, maybe They do, yes.  It’s a convenience thing matey.  Here’s some info and opinion bits regarding this: www.huffingtonpost.com.au/2016/03/01/when-does-autumn-start_n_9361940.htmlwww.researchgate.net/post/Why_do_Australians_not_acknowledge_that_an_equinox_or_solstice_marks_the_official_start_of_a_season@slowpoke1993 FFS im triggered I have to explain this.

You are easily triggered bruh. Also, I reckon you could easily grow some coconuts in the DC. They would be no doubt a bit icy though!

Wow, your taste in climates is worse than I originally thought. Washington DC? Foul winters and no beaches to compensate for that summer humidity Disappointing. 10 April High: 7°C Low: -2°C (windchill: -7°) Intermittent mixed precipitation (snow+rain) in the morning. Overcast in the morning, mix of sun and clouds in the afternoon.

Definitely not too my liking! I thought most of the Hunter-Sydney-Illawarra corridor of NSW has a fairly similar climate, perhaps differing by a degree or two but overall you're likely to experience fairly similar weather on most days in Newcastle as you are in Wollongong.

I thought most of the Hunter-Sydney-Illawarra corridor of NSW has a fairly similar climate, perhaps differing by a degree or two but overall you're likely to experience fairly similar weather on most days in Newcastle as you are in Wollongong. You're right, the three regions do have similar climates, however the Hunter and the Sydney Metro Area are classified as Humid Subtropical (Cfa) areas under the Koppens Climate Classifications. The Illawarra mostly falls under the Cfa climate as well, although there are some areas of the region (e.g Albion Park, Gerringong, parts of Dapto) which are classified as having a Temperate Oceanic Climate (Cfb). Here's an interesting website I have found which shows where the different climates start/finish in Australia and New Zealand: www.plantmaps.com/koppen-climate-classification-map-australia-new-zealand.phpLike longaotian mentioned though, the Koppens classifications are very broad and they aren't an entirely accurate representation of climates in different areas. For instance, according to the map, I personally live in an area that has a Temperate Oceanic Climate, however I live less than a kilometre away from the westernmost extremity of the Humid Subtropical Climate. There isn't going to be a huge temperature difference if I drive just two minutes down the road. Sydney and Rockhampton in QLD technically fall under the same climate, but the two cities experience different weather conditions and temperatures.

Sydney and Rockhampton in QLD technically fall under the same climate, but the two cities experience different weather conditions and temperatures. Sydney & Rockhampton experience almost completely different climates, surely? I'd also say that different parts of the NSW coast have different climates. For example, you'd have to say that the climates of Batemans Bay and Byron Bay are distinctively different. But while there are no doubt varying factors which can cause different conditions in all three regions (eg: Western Sydney which is often hotter in Summer, colder in Winter and harder hit by severe storms compared to Sydney City proper and the coastal suburbs) there aren't really any major differences between the climate of the Hunter, Sydney metropolitan area and the Illawarra. As far as coastal NSW is concerned, it's really North of Port Stephens and the Myall Lakes heading towards the Mid North Coast or South of Jervis Bay (perhaps even Ulladulla) heading towards the South Coast that climate differences really start to become apparent, I think.

Actually Sydney is quite interesting in that some years the temperatures they experience would make them a Cfb (Temperate) climate and some years would make it a Cfa (Humid) climate, just depends on whether they are having an above or below average year in terms of temperatures. From what ive seen for the most part, Newcastle and North is Cfa, Wollongong and South is Cfb and the area in between (Sydney region) could be either. But like you said Newcastle being in a different climate zone to Wollongong but in the same as Rockhampton doesnt make sense, so it is flawed. And Koppens isnt even the only system they have, theres many more for example Trewartha so on. I personally dont like Koppens because it groups the whole of New Zealand in one climate zone which is wrong. For example Griffith, NSW is classified as Semi-Arid whereas Central Otago towns in NZ like Alexandra receive even less rainfall than Griffith yet aren't classified as semi-arid?

Yeah, the Wikipedia article states that Alexandra experiences a borderline oceanic/semi-arid climate. I've never been to the town before obviously, but just based on the info I have read, I would actually have to agree with it's Koppens classification, tbh. Even though Alexandra is over two hours away from the coastline and experiences less annual rainfall than what Griffith does, it also experiences light snowfall in the colder months (which is uncharacteristic of semi-arid areas) and conditions that are not similar to other semi-arid areas. There's a pretty big difference when you compare it to somewhere like Griffith, which is 5.5 hours inland and doesn't have an average maximum temperature below 23C. Alexandra only has an average max temp of 25.1C in January; that's 7.7C cooler than Griffith.
