Hey all you Austrailans! (1 Viewer)

I have a question that has been bugging me for a few years now and have never been able to get it answered:

In the Southern hemisphere... the seasons are reversed from the North due to the tilt of the Earth. I've always wondered do you "down-underers" call June through August Winter and December through March Summer since thats how your seasons are?

Someone please answer this so I can sleep at night.


P.S. Admin, please correct my spelling of "Australians" in the thread title... it's Monday.. cut me some slack.

Hi Dave,
The seasons in the southern hemisphere are reversed. Your summers are our winters, and so forth with the other seasons...

While I trust you guys are enjoying a nice hot summer in the U.S. & Canada, we're all rugged up for the winter.

So you do call it "Winter" while we are calling it "Summer". Thanks for clearing that up.
