Rate The Climate: Bourke, Australia (hot, rainfall, 2014, nights)

[EverBlack]

Bourke is a town located in inland Australia, its climate is very hot in the summer, but still, it can get cold nights in the winter, thought during the daytime it's usually mild.

I rate this a D- (which is called "E" by some users), the majority of the year is an oven, but June and July look comfortable.

Solid B. Overall a fairly decent climate.

I am struck by how green it looks in summer in such a dry climate:

It's green, but it's March 2010. The image from February 2008 is a bit more yellow

Though still pretty green for a desert-like climate ^^

...I don't think its that surprising, its similar to an LA suburb but with even rainfall distribution which probably benefits the plants more.

C+ too hot during the summer and too dry.

B. Overall good climate but it's too dry and has more diurnal range than I'd like.

This was taken in March 2010. NSW was overly wet at that time of the year (namely February).

Took the words right out of my mouth.

F, way too hot and no winter! Plus giant spiders are terrifying!

B, not bad but too hot overall, as shown by yearly max of 27.6C (yearly minimum is ok though).
Prefer Broken Hill.
