The Southern Hemisphere doesn't experience winter like the Northern Hemisphere does:
I knew that winter in the Northern Hemisphere was summer in the Southern and vice versa. But I always assumed they were mirror images of each other in other respects (i.e. they experienced similar summer and winter temps at equivalent latitudes). But as the map of monthly average temps shows, the Southern Hemisphere is significantly warmer in the winter. Only Antarctica and a few other tiny regions experience winter like the northern-most latitudes do. Interesting (at least, I think so).
