To be fair the southern hemisphere only accounts for 31% of the world's landmass and of that Australia is 20% of the total landmass in the southern hemisphere experiencing summer right now.
- crispinb 8y agoTrue, it's probably typical for a good proportion of S.Hem summer maxes to be in Australia. The actual values aren't typical though - many temperature records being broken, bushfires in places that haven't experienced them in the past, etc.
- nraynaud 8y agoand the southern hemisphere has a summer slightly closer to the sun than the north.
