All the people who live in the southern hemisphere live in the tropics or subtropics. Spring has no more meaning in Melbourne than it does in Mexico City.

- chrismorgan 4y agoI can't comment on the meaning of spring in Mexico City, but I assure you that it means plenty in Melbourne and its surrounds, colloquially and in actual weather. Even if we didn't get a lot of it this particularly wet year.

- rippercushions 4y agoHaving lived in Melbourne, those are both pretty bizarre assertions, although it's a running gag for Melbourne that you can easily experience all four seasons in a day. In Australia, only coastal NT/FNQ qualify as tropical, with a subtropical slice from Brisbane down to Sydney: https://plantmaps.com/koppen-climate-classification-map-australia-new-zealand.php https://plantmaps.com/koppen-climate-classification-map-aust...
- smcl 4y agoA funny thing I've realised is that it's a running gag in many places, and each one thinks it's unique to them :)

- nl 4y agoThis is only correct if you round to the nearest billion people. Around 250 million people live south of the Tropic of Capricorn: https://www.quora.com/What-proportion-of-the-worlds-population-lives-south-of-the-Tropic-of-Capricorn https://www.quora.com/What-proportion-of-the-worlds-populati... That would be roughly the 5th most populous country in the world. If we are making generalisations that big we might as well say that no one lives in the United States (population 330M, but rounded to the nearest billion it is zero right?)
