The climate of Broken Hill (Australia)
Broken Hill is a lovely characteristic town in the state of New South
Wales. It was originally founded as a mining city for lead and zinc,
but when silver was found in 1884 the city flourished. The many
historical buildings are still a silent witness to this period. Even
an Afghan Mosque was built in Broken Hill. The immigrants came to help
discover the outback on their camels. In addition to its historical
appearance Broken Hill boasts many art galleries. Among them is the
Broken Hill art gallery.
Broken Hill has a desert climate. Winters are cold and dry and pretty
constant in temperature. During the summer temperatures may vary from
warm to very hot. Although rain may fall from time to time sandstorms
are not uncommon during the summer months.

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:
