Atmospheric scientist Deanna Hence explains the weather and climate factors that combine to produce wintry conditions at the turn of the year .

The closer you are to one of the poles , the faster the rate of change in daylight is.

At the equator, which gets consistent direct sunlight, there’s very little change in day length or temperature year-round .

The Southern Hemisphere has a lot less land and a lot more water than the Northern Hemisphere .

The influence of the southern oceans, land masses in the Southern Hemisphere tend to have fewer very extreme temperatures.

So even though a spot on opposite side of the planet from your location may receive exactly as much sunlight now as your area does in summer , the weather there may be different from the summer conditions you are used to.
