Do peruse these 3 climates..... 3 very different places climatically, socially, economically, politically and geographically !
Which climate do you prefer ?
KATHMANDU: ( pronounced cat-man-do in AU )
Climate:
Under Köppen's climate classification, portions of the city with lower elevations (1300-1400m) which is 88 per cent of total have a humid subtropical climate (Cwa), while portions of the city with higher elevations generally have a subtropical highland climate (Cwb). In the Kathmandu Valley, which is representative of its valley's climate, the average summer temperature varies from 28 to 30 °C. The average winter temperature is 10.1 °C. Five major climatic regions are found in Nepal. Of these, High hills of Kathmandu Valley including Chandragiri hill is in the Warm Temperate Zone (elevation ranging from 1,200 to 2,300 metres, where the climate is fairly temperate, atypical for the region. This zone is followed by the Cool Temperate Zone with elevation varying between 2,100 and 3,300 metres.
The city generally has a climate with warm days followed by cool nights and mornings. Unpredictable weather is expected, given that temperatures can drop to 0 °C or less during the winter. The lowest ever temperature of -3.5 °C was recorded in 1978. While snowfall is generally confined to the hills surrounding the city, there have been a few instances of snowfall in city, most notably in 1945 and 2007.
Rainfall is mostly monsoon-based (about 65% of the total concentrated during the monsoon months of June to September), and decreases substantially (100 to 200 cm ) from eastern Nepal to western Nepal. The average annual rainfall for the city is around 1400 mm On average humidity is 75%. The annual amount of precipitation was 1,124 millimetres for 2005. The decade of 2000–2010 saw highly variable and unprecedented precipitation anomalies in Kathmandu. This was mostly due to the annual variation of the southwest monsoon. For example, 2001 recorded only 356 mm of precipitation due to an extraordinarily weak monsoon season. In contrast, 2003 was the wettest year ever in Kathmandu, totaling over 2,900 mm of precipitation due to an exceptionally strong monsoon season.
DUNEDOO: ( pronounced dunny-do in AU )
Climate:
Dunedoo falls in the warm temperate climate zone. Under Köppen climate classification, Dunedoo has a humid subtropical climate (Cfa) that borders the semi-arid climate (BSk). Summers are warm to hot, and winters cool to cold, bringing some occurrences of early morning frost but generally no snowfall. . The town's location in this transition area allows a large temperature variation during the year, with high summer temperatures, sometimes peaking above 40 °C typical of the Western Plains of New South Wales and colder subzero temperatures typical of the Central Tablelands in winter.
Dunedoo's location in the transition area between the Liverpool/Warrumbungle Ranges and the Central Western Plains has provided a mild distribution of rainfall throughout the year. Dunnedoo's wettest month is January with an average rainfall of 69.6 mm occurring on average over six days. Dunedoo is reasonably sunny, receiving 101.6 days of clear skies annually.
Wind patterns vary over the whole year. The prevailing winds at Dunedoo are from the southeast, south, southwest and west, which account for a combined 64.4% of the wind direction over the whole year.
HUMPTY DOO: ( pronounced how it sounds in AU )
Climate:
Humpty Doo, like the rest of the outer Darwin area, experiences a tropical savannah climate (Köppen Aw), with two distinct seasons. The wet season is when the highest rainfall occurs and runs from November–December through until April. During these months the area is subject to the effects of monsoon troughs and there is the threat of tropical cyclones. The wet season is characterised by higher average temperatures, high humidity, and a greater proportion of rainy days and often associated thunderstorms.
The dry season from May to October brings lower humidity, significantly cooler overnight temperatures, and minimal rainfall. It is characterised by sunny days with clear skies.
