Question about Australia?

Question

So is it really winter there when it's summer in the U.S., and vice versa?

Answer 1

Yes that's correct.

We are in the middle of Autumn (Fall) right now and Winter starts on the first of June.

Where I am, we've had one or two chilly nights, but beautiful warm sunny days approx 24 °C which is equal to 75.2 °F.

Answer 2

It's autumn at the moment but is feeling like winter. Winter officially begins on June 1st.

Answer 3

Yes!

When everything north of the equator(eg USA)are having summer the countries south of the equator(eg Australia) are having winter.

And vice versa!

Answer 4

Christmas time is usually when people from the northern hemisphere really notice the difference. Down here, Christmas falls at the height of summer. All over Australia, it's usually really hot - often over 100F and many people spend it at the beach or in the pool.

Answer 5

Yes. It is nearly winter here now, and you guys are just about to enter into Summer vacation aren't you?

Also, our school year goes from Jan - Dec, and we get our summer off over christmas, as opposed to the middle of the year.

It's interesting isnt it.

Answer 6

Yes it is

Answer 7

Yes it is winter here right now.

Southern Hemisphere seasons are the direct opposite of those in the Northern Hemisphere.  Our schools have their summer vacation at around Christmas-time instead of the middle of the year as the north does.    When you have Spring we have Autumn (Fall).
