Hotter by temperature in degrees, yes, but 25 degrees in Japan with a very high humidity can certainly feel like 35 degrees in Australia with low humidity.

Answer Parts of Australia get 35 degrees, with high humidity. In general, Australia is very much hotter than Japan, but it helps to compare parts of Australia with various islands or cities in Japan. Okinawa is sub-tropcal, like much of Australia, but Australia has no equivalent to say Hokkaido.

In the outback, because it's desert, but it's pretty cold at night. Not all parts are 'hot'.

Answer

Actually, deserts aren't cold at night in summer (and in winter they can be quite cool in daytime). Australia is generally hot in comparison to other countries because of the huge landmass, low cloudiness, the latitude, and low rainfall. Also, unlike Europe and North America, as Australia is an island, polar air is heavily modified by movement over the Southern Ocean, so very little "really" cold air gets there. There are many parts which would not be considered "hot" though.

Contrary to popular belief, Australia is not hot because it is close to the equator. Australia's northern coast is about 1300 km from the equator.

Australia experiences a variety of temperatures, from very hot to very cold. The highest recorded temperature in Australia occurred at Cloncurry in western Queensland in January 1889: 53.1 degrees Celsius (127.5 degrees F). The Cloncurry record was later removed from Australian records because it was measured using unsuitable equipment (that is, not in a Stevenson screen, which only became widespread in Australian usage after about 1910). According to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, the current heat record is held byOodnadatta, South Australia, 50.7 degrees Celsius, occurring on 2 January 1960.

The world heat record goes to Marble Bar in Western Australia, which recorded maximum temperatures equalling or exceeding 37.8 degrees C on 161 consecutive days, between 30 October 1923 and 7 April 1924. However, this is an extreme.

Temperatures in the south (oddly enough) can be among the hottest in summer, easily exceeding 42 degrees Celsius for many days at a time, and contributing to severe bushfire conditions.

It must be remembered, however, that not all of Australia experiences this extreme of heat. Many areas of Australia are pleasant to live in, with temperatures rarely being uncomfortably hot.
Australia is a huge country, very nearly as large as the continental U.S. Climate there varies from tropical in the north to temperate in the south. Similar to the range you'd find from Florida to Maine.

Much of the center of Australia is desert, and is far from the moderating influence of marine weather. The center of Australia can get very hot in the summer.

yes it is hotter.

But it really depends on which part of Australia your at

Australia has dry subtropical prevailing winds which ensure it led to warm, dry weather, while the UK's prevailing winds bring changeable, colder weather

This depends on the time of the year. In summer (December to February) the southern states of Victoria and South Australia experience continual hot temperatures (apart from a rogue day here or there when temperatures will plummet) and often heatwaves for weeks on end, while any inland regions are also very hot, as is the northwest of Western Australia. During winter (June to August), the far north is much warmer, while the northwest of the continent also remains warm.

Australia is hotter in January than in July because it receives more direct sunlight in January due to the Southern Hemisphere being tilted toward the sun in January and tilted away from the sun in July.

Not all of Australia is hot, but it is fair to say that every part of the country experiences hot temperatures at some stage during the year. Tasmania, for example, has a cool temperate climate, but it, too, experiences heatwaves and bushfire conditions in summer.
Some have suggested that Australia is hot because it is near the equator, but this is incorrect. The northernmost point on the Australian mainland is still a good 1300 km from the equator. However, the top third of the continent does lie within the tropical zone, which certainly makes for hot summers and warm winters.


In addition, there is only one large significant mountain range in Australia, although there are numerous smaller mountain ranges scattered throughout the continent. The Great DIviding Range runs down the entire eastern coast and along the southeast of the continent, and prevents rainfall from penetrating far inland to the extensive dry plains that make up the vast majority of the continent. This, too, leads to hotter weather.

According to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, the current heat record is held by Oodnadatta, in north central South Australia, which recorded 50.7 degrees Celsius on 2 January 1960.

Australia's heat record, and even the world heat record, goes to Marble Bar in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Marble Bar which recorded maximum temperatures equalling or exceeding 37.8 degrees Celsius on 161 consecutive days, between 30 October 1923 and 7 April 1924. For this reason, Marble Bar is often considered the hottest place in Australia.

Somewhere in the desert interior would be the hottest.

Check your map again. It's closer to the equator than south Florida.
