The climate of Coober Pedy (Australia)
Coober Pedy is a rugged mine workers town in Australia’s outback. The ruggedness of this area is nowhere as clear as it is here. Because of the extreme weather conditions the complete population of Coober Pedy went to live underground. During the summer months temperatures may rise as high as 50 degrees Centigrade. When the night falls temperatures drop to freezing point. In combination with the heavy sandstorms life above ground is virtually impossible. Enough income is gathered from the nearby opal mine so a complete city is carved out of the bedrock. Galleries, churches, hotels and houses are all built under ground. All of the tourist attractions are based on these underground activities. Coober Pedy’s strange setting also inspired the film industry. Films like ‘Mad Max’ and ‘Priscilla Queen of the desert’ were shot here.
Obviously Coober Pedy has a desert climate. Although temperatures are high the year round there are extreme differences in temperature between day and night. Temperatures may vary up to 50 degrees Centigrade. In January there are many sandstorms. The dusty desert wind which causes this is also known as Brickfielder.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather, extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate information for each month of the year:
