Climate

The Capital Territory has four separate seasons (caused by its altitude and its distance from the coast), in comparison to the climate of many Australian cities whose weather is moderated by the sea. Canberra averages more hours of sunshine per year than any other capital city in the country, making it a perfect spot for travel in Australia, and it tends to have hot, dry summers and cold winters with frosts and heavy fog. Rain occurs throughout the year, particularly on the mountains, as well as strong winds and many of the mountains in the southeast of the territory are covered in snow for a part of the winter.
