About 70 per cent of the country is arid or semiarid and cannot support agriculture. The north part of the countrygets about 300 mm rain a year. Much of the rain soakes into the ground and does not form any rivers or lakes. Monsoon winds bring most air during summer. This is the time of high rainfall. It's known as the wet season. High temperature also means that a lot of moisture evaporates or is used by plants. In the southern two thirds of the country the climate is temperate to cool. Winter temperatures can be lower but not freezing. There are four seasons. The seasons are opposite of our seasons. When we have summer in Australia there is winter.
