3.8       Climate
The climate is subtropical. That is, the area is influenced by monsoonal climate systems in summer
but also from temperate climate systems in winter. Mean rainfall is approximately 1700.mm per
year. (Bureau of Meteorology, 2004) The “wet” season runs from December to April.
Severe bushfire weather can occur. This is characterised by dry windy days, winds north to north
west for 2-4 days and temperatures 350C or over. These conditions occur from September to
December; worst month, November. (Webster J, 2000)
