Week 10: Extreme Weather 

Australia experiences different forms of severe weather depending on its regional area. Australia's extreme weather usually occurs from October through April as droughts and thunderstorms are seasonal. The wettest regions are around the west coast of Tasmania. The effects of a wide varied rainfall pattern and Australia's drainage system can cause parts to begin to drought. The warming over the upper northern part of Australia creates low pressure and rising air. As a result, it brings moisture from nearby oceans. The northern ocean of Australia particularly around Indonesia is warmer. It can lead to moisture-rich air flowing toward Australia. It increases the chances of having heavier rainfall.

Phenomena weather can cause significant damage to homes and communities. It's critical to take safety precautions during any natural hazard. It's always beneficial to act in advance before a disaster occurs. There should be plenty of safety measures placed so that when extreme weather occurs communities can respond rapidly. A community needs to have in mind its capacity and risk of exposure.
