This is the Conversation Forum for Birdwatching << Birding A gentle approach >> Subject: seasons Posted Dec 11, 2000 by Ozzywiz   Posting 1 I would like to take issue with your statement that the seasons are reversed in the Southern hemisphere. The seasons, I'll have you know, are normal in the Southern hemisphere. In the Northern hemisphere, they are reversed.

Summer is now until February, winter is June/July/August. White Christmases are for the birds...

What you need to do, is fire everybody at your weather bureau and headhunt new ones from Queensland. Your lot obviously don't know how to work the software: they keep hitting the wrong keys. Maybe the more senior ones go on leave in Nov (to Queensland) and leave the apprentices in charge?
