The Southern Hemisphere is dominated by vast oceans, which significantly influence its summer climate.

Unlike the Northern Hemisphere, with large continental landmasses at mid-latitudes, the Southern Hemisphere is dominated by the Southern Ocean, which circulates unimpeded around Antarctica. This ocean acts as a massive heat sink, moderating coastal summer temperatures but also fueling moisture-laden storm systems. Sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the Southern Hemisphere summer peak in the subtropical gyres, driving evaporation and convective rainfall over adjacent landmasses.
