The South Shetland islands question?

Question

Hello, I am wondering is it winter in the South Shetland islands now? Just so you know the South shetland islands are 100 miles north of the Antarctic pinesula. So is it summer or winter there?

Answer 1

At this precise moment, the South Shetland Islands are in their late fall. Winter is approaching quickly. June 21 is the first day of summer here in the northern hemisphere, so that means that on the 21st of June, the islands (because they are in the southern hemisphere) will be getting their very first day of winter. 4 days from now; is their first official day of winter.

Answer 2

It will be winter there once summer actually starts here, which is at 11:59 pm on June 20th.
