The northern regions of Australia, including the Top End, Western Australia (except Perth) and northern Queensland, receive hot, wet weather with frequent heavy rain showers and occasional storms during summer from October through March.
Europe is generally, cold and wet; only the south coast of Spain and Portugal have reasonable periods of sunshine. However, this is a good time to visit if you plan on skiing the snow-covered slopes of France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria and Spain.
This is the hot, wet season in the South Pacific, when you can expect torrential rain showers interspersed by periods of intense sunshine and the possibility of tropical cyclones (hurricanes); the exception is New Zealand.
