Thought it would be great to get a dedicated thread for Southern Hemisphere Snowfall akin to those for the Northern Hemisphere ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜€๐ŸŒจ๐ŸŒจโ˜ƒ๏ธโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ”

"While the North American ski season is all but over, withย Arapahoe Basin closing last weekend, things are just ramping up south of the equator. Winter has come early and enthusiastically to the Chilean Andes, with ski areas reporting over 10 feet of snow sinceย many of the resorts opened earlier than scheduledย for the 2024 ski season."

Very useful site listing all the known snowfall events in South Africa since 1853.

Late snowstorms hit South Africaโ€™s coastal areas over the weekend, killing two people and closing major highways

One of the most significant reasons which leads to Antarctic Air Outbreaks in The Southern Hemisphere and associated snowfall events occurs via The Antarctic Oscillation which is also known as The Southern Annular Mode - SAM, due to the Coriolis Effect the associated impacts ie Temperatures High and Low are the opposite in The Southern Hemisphere than The Northern Hemisphere which means High Pressure - Anticyclones lead to colder - below average temperatures and Cyclonic developmentsย  - Low Pressure leads to warmer - above average temperatures.

ย 

NIWA.CO.NZ

The Southern Annular Mod is a ring of climate variability that encircles the South Pole and extends out to the latitudes of New Zealand.

ย 

EDUCATION.NATIONALGEOGRAPHIC.ORG

The Coriolis effect describes the pattern of deflection taken by objects not firmly connected to the ground as they travel long distances around the Earth.

Like the Northern Hemisphere the Southern Hemisphere also has a Polar Vortex

The Stratospheric Warming Event of 2024 in Antarctica lead to Negative Antarctic Oscillation values of approximately -4.5ย

Interesting as lived in South Africa in the Highveld between 1976 and 1983 and we had had snow in 1981, which caused all kind of problems. I set out in my Ford Cortina GT and watched lots of people end up down the side of the roads as they were not used to this type of weather. It did include a decent session of Thundersnow. Not to be forgotten.
