I just saw a post that someone from Australia posted..and its December right? but in their post they said ".....something something...its summer now" . @_@.. Winter in the U.S. is Summer in Australia??

how does that work? lol

[joolee.]

Really? I thought winter would be winter everywhere regardless if it's not as cold or whatnot.

I feel stupid now.

different hemisphere's have opposite weather
lol im from australia and its summer atm

it's how the earth is tilted at an angle... sometimes the southern half is closer to the sun and the northern half is further away (which causes places like Australia to experience summer and places like Canada to experience winter) and vice versa ^^;;

pretty much what the two up there said.
but personally i'd go with the hemisphere one (because i'm more simple :x LOL)

basically:
summer in aust / winter in us
autumn / spring
winter / summer
spring / autumn

=)

The Earth is tilted and the Northern and Southern hemisphere's are always in opposite seasons, ie. North = Summer then South = Winter, North = Autumn then South = Spring. For example, I'm in Australia too, and yes, it's Summer. The sun is hitting directly on us and not for people up North, so they don't get as much direct sunlight resulting in Winter. But global warming has sorta messed up the seasons, it was like pouring rain here and it's summer. Melbourne weather. Psch..
