What would the climate of Australia be like if it was next to Europe?

Perth would be ~43°N near the latitude of Halifax, Canada. Perth would be on the western edge of tapping into the Gulf Stream, so seasons would be more distinct than your typical oceanic climate, resembling a climate much closer to Sable Island than Bermuda.

I agree. I think Perth would be a milder version of the Canadian maritimes.

Europe would probably be a little dryer, sunnier, slightly cooler in the winter, and slightly warmer in the summer.

Canadian airmasses may be more likely to impact Europe, but they would still be quite moderated.

I think Melbourne's averages would be like this:

Jan 3/12, 110mm
Feb 3/13, 90mm
Mar 6/16, 70mm
Apr 9/20, 55mm
May 13/24, 50mm
Jun 16/27, 35mm
Jul 19/30, 10mm
Aug 20/30, 5mm
Sep 15/26, 25mm
Oct 11/21, 60mm
Nov 7/17, 70mm
Dec 4/13, 100mm

Maybe someone with more knowledge of high and low pressure systems around that area can help with determining new climates.

p.s. I think Australia has been resized here but don't worry about it.

What would Australia's climate be....a lot better

Europe would be a hell of a lot colder and drier especially in winter due to no warm gulf stream.

The whole map should be resized. These are the correct dimensions:


I think this gives a whole new perspective.

Say goodbye to palms in Darwin.

And say hello to an Egyptian Hobart.

This is an interesting map too. Melbourne would finally have warm beaches and a better climate.
