Why the Difference? There are at least two reasons for the north-south asymmetry. First of all, the northern hemisphere has a lot more land than the southern hemisphere. As a result, the northern hemisphere heats up more readily during its summer than does the southern hemisphere during its summer.

Remember, hemisphere means ‘half of a sphere,’ so both hemispheres are the same size, but most of the planet’s land is in the Northern Hemisphere. This includes all of North America, Europe, most of Africa and most of Asia. Much of the Southern Hemisphere is made up of seas and oceans, but land can be found there also.

The Northern Hemisphere refers to the half of the planet that is north of the equator, while the Southern Hemisphere is all of the planet south of the equator. The North Pole, of course, is in the Northern Hemisphere, while the South Pole is at the most southerly part of the Southern Hemisphere.

Determining whether you are in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere is easy—simply ask yourself if the equator is north or south of your position. This tells you your longitudinal hemisphere because the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere are divided by the equator.

Snow is most common in high altitudes and high latitudes, particularly among the mountainous regions of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Snow also falls in the Southern Hemisphere during the austral winter, primarily in Antarctica and in the high mountains of New Zealand and South America.

The Southern Hemisphere contains most of South America, one-third of Africa, Australia, Antarctica, and some Asian islands.

Yes, it does snow in parts of Australia, and yes – the snow is significant. The aptly named “Snowy Mountains” region has substantial snowfall each winter, as does Victoria’s “High Country” region, which is only a few hours drive from Melbourne. …

Heat and wildfires are common during December through February (Australian summer), but the heat is unusual this year. That’s because the El Nino — a band of unusually warm ocean temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific — is supposed to be in a neutral period.

English is Australia’s national language, so at Yule tide we’ll write “Merry Christmas and Happy New Year” on cards, and say “Merry Christmas” around Christmas time, and “Happy New Year” just before and after New Year’s Day. Some to be politically correct might just write/say “Seasons Greetings”.
