History

Geography

Wellington is located on the Morrie Coast, the most northerly points of Norlands, 773km from the capital city, Arnton. The city is situated in the Northern Forest area, although due to urban development, the forest has significantly decreased n size. The administrative and commercial heart of Wellington is at Midside, which is geographically centered in the middle of the peninsula. There has been sizeable growth in the Eastern and Southern portions of the city. Surrounding towns include Cevarrene, Morrisett and Borkere.

Arnton covers four geographical regions. In the central suburbs along the banks of the River Burnett are along the Karvene Plateau. The eastern slopes and ranges border the urban area. The northwestern suburbs of Arnton are mainly part of the Arnton Hills region. The southern suburbs are located on the Neviren Plateau.

Flora and Fauna

Arnton has many species of flora and fauna, especially those in the tablelands of Ainslie. The Liriodendron tulipifera is a well known tree which often lines the streets of the nation. The River Oak, or Casuarina cunninhamiana features in the parks and naturally on the outskirts of the city. The Golden Wattle, or Acacia pycnantha is particularly native to the area, with the Arnton Hills and Eastern Slopes and Ranges having this plant as a particularly prominent feature of the landscape.

The Borderton Ibis congregates around the lakes of the city, and are quite widespread and present in urban areas. The Gaelitic Wasp, a wasp with a more yellow/orange and black appearance is common in the city, as it is across the nation and beyond.

The Mivai, Macropus robustus inhabits the lands surrounding Arnton and larger parks within the city. The Mivai is a common sight along the outskirts of Arnton as well, where accidents involving the animals increasing in recent years due to urban expansion.

Climate

Under the Köppen-Geirger classification, Arnton has a humid subtropical climate (Cfa) with warm summers, cold winters and relatively even rainfall throughout the year. There are three major weather stations in the city, in the central-north, the outer west and the outer east.

The primary weatherstation, Northstar Munslen has experienced extreme temperatures ranging from 39.1C in July to -12.2 in January. In the outer west, the Kiverten Station has recorded temperatures from 43.1 to -9.3 degrees. The outer east is significantly higher in elevation and hence has received a maximum temperature of 34.2 and a low of -15.2. The incredibly low temperatures can be linked to almost blizzard-like conditions arising from near Hauton, which reached Arnton but dissapated to a degree past that point.

Weather is vastly dependent on elevation, as more extreme cooler temperatures are recorded in the suburbs with higher elevation, generally to the east and north, whilst temperatures recorded in suburbs with lower elevation record higher temperatures.

Rainfall has little variation, with rainfall higher in the spring. Arnton often experiences fog in winter and storms in spring, where warmer western winds mix with the colder winds from the east. This creates large thunderstorms in April and May. During this time, particularly dangerous storms, known as High-end superstorms have the ability to cause widespread damage. The weather of Arnton is also vastly dependent on the wind direction.
