The southern hemisphere is now well into their spring season
leaving behind what was a very cold winter in many areas.  Granted, some locations finished above
average, that is the nature of weather patterns, but colder than average
temperatures were the more dominate weather event these past several
months.  

Southern
Brazil for instance had four consecutive months of below average
weather with numerous records broken. 
Much of Argentina
saw winter temperatures averaging 5 to10 degrees below the long term average
with Buenos Aries having their first snow since 1918.  Santiago,
Chile had their
coldest winter since 1885 where temperatures averaged between 10 and 12 degrees
below seasonal averages. 

Other parts of
the southern hemisphere also saw record cold weather including South Africa and
especially Australia where June ended up being the coldest on record over much
of the country.
