You'd think that the Northern and Southern Hemispheres would be basically symmetrical -- that since our planet is a ball, the climate, temperature, and weather patterns would be the same on top as on the bottom. But there are some pronounced differences. Let's explore why.

Anyone that’s lived for extended periods of time in both hemispheres can attest to the air cleanliness aspect. From my Southern Hemisphere perspective, the north seems perpetually shrouded in a haze. Even on a totally clear day, the skies are more of a milky light blue than the intense, darker, pure blue of the southern hemisphere skies.

Haziness also depends heavily on humidity. In Brazil, we have a lot of days with clear skies, but the air is kind of grey in every direction, and you can't see more than a few km. It's not fog but just a vague greyness. I'm four hours from the nearest major city. There's not much pollution here. We just have a lot of days over 80% humidity.

The first time I went to Europe from my native New Zealand, I couldn't believe how different the sky was. Up north, it has a hazy quality, and the the sky seems a paler blue. Looking out to sea from the Italian coast, one couldn't see clearly where the sea stopped and the sky started, they seemed to blend into each other. In New Zealand, the horizon is clear and sharp on fine days. It's one of those elements of culture shock, up there with discovering it's difficult to find a beach to yourself up over.

Fascinating. New Zealand has much harsher sunlight than the USA and Europe. This was noticed in early European colonisation days where people found NZ's light to be great for painting. Don't quote me - I read it somewhere years ago. Skin cancer rates tend to be relatively higher in NZ too.

I live in New Zealand. I've traveled to Europe during its summer. When there I noticed that the temperature didn't seem to match how it felt, in direct sunlight. Standing in a middle of a field in NZ in summer with the temperature at 25degC, feels very hot. In Europe, 30degC seemed no problem. Without sunscreen most will show signs of sun burn within 15 minutes here, but not as much of a problem even in Australia. We didn't need sunscreen at all while traveling in Europe, even though we were outside a lot of the time. One game of football without sunscreen here, you will be burnt.

The highest UVI in the world is found in the Altiplano region that spans several Andean countries in South America, but on a nationwide level New Zealand and Australia have about the most extreme. Thos has resulted in Australoa having the highest rate of melanomas in the world, and NZ the second-highest. In the case of these two, it's significantly due to the presence of the ozone hole.

Australia too. A lot of people like to simplify it by blaming the hole in the ozone layer, and that's certainly part of it, but the other reason for it is because the Earth's rotation around the sun isn't a perfect circle, during Summer in the Northern Hemisphere the Earth is at the furthest point from the sun, thus the Summer sun is a bit more mild, and during Summer in the Southern Hemisphere the Earth at the closest point to the sun, thus the sun is a lot harsher.

Yay Hank! Glad to see you are still working! We are all rooting for you!
We're with you Hank!
To gain a sense of the climate disparity between the northern and southern hemispheres, consider this comparison: Northern Antarctica is located as far from the equator as the middle of Norway, which experiences relatively warm summers and is conducive to non-permafrost farming. Similarly, the Falkland Islands are situated as far from the equator as Frankfurt, a city known for its high temperatures during the summer season.
Prayers of smooth treatment heading your way, this man is certainly stronger than I am. Respect!
Wishing you all the best Hank! ❤🩹
I'm surprised that you didn't mention that the seasons are not equal in length between the northern and southern hemispheres with the north having a longer spring and summer. This is because the Earth moves slower when it is farther from the sun. Currently, the Earth is farthest from the sun around July 4, but this slowly changes by millennia.

Huh? No, "spring" is, by definition, "from the vernal equinox, until the summer solstice," with summer going from the summer solstice to the autumnal equinox. They are the same length; they just occur 6 months apart, N vs S hemispheres.

Having lived in both New South Wales Australia, and Mindanao Philippines, I agree with what you say. It's no surprise that there is more pollution in the Northern Hemisphere, although I have to say that Mindanao often has air quality as good as where I have lived in Australia. Of course, having lived in Mindanao, I know the ITCZ very well! When it moves north of the equator, it often means many days of rain, and this is most likely in the time of Habagat, the Southwest Monsoon. I'm aware as well that weather in Australia can be affected by the Indian Ocean Dipole, and the position of jetstreams as well, as seen in the current unseasonal rains in the far north of Australia, and the recent rain at Uluru.

It's a lot easier to destroy than it is to create. It's not easy to move a whole city from somewhere that is now uninhabitable to somewhere that is newly inhabitable. Stability is a good thing.

Great video. Get well soon Hank XX
its so wild to see a scishow video about something i know in more detail than the video goes into! ive been here for so long!!
I am sure the length of time that the North has been industrialised being significantly longer also contributes to the dirtiness and heat retention.

I don't understand. Atmospheric gases mix over both hemispheres, so all of that pollution (I assume you meant CO2) is present at the *same* concentration in both hemispheres. Just like the concentration of Oxygen and Nitrogen is the same all over the planet.
100% chance that some people think the northern hemisphere is warmer because hot air rises... 😂

I live pretty far down south in Aus, at lease in my state thunder storms have significantly decreased in the last 2-3 decades. But we do have more intense other types of storms when they do happen (although far less frequent). Overall the local climate is a lot drier than when I was younger and even more so with my oldest sibling who is 14 years older than me.

I live in the tropical area of australia and haven't noticed a change in frequency, but severity has increased.
Thank you Hank ❤
Ive not found this topic before, myself. Super interesting, thanks!
The Southern Hemisphere is just more oceanic
The additional air pollution in the northern hemisphere is immediately apparent when you get off the plane from Australia. There's a weird haze everywhere, even out in the isolated countryside.
Good to See a New Video!
Thank you so much for your valuable videos 🌏
Great video. I realize how dumn I am when I watch your videos. Love the new beanie. Wishing you well. Thanks for continuing to teach.
As a South African I can confirm that weather is fantastic this side. Winter averaging 11°C and summer max is 35°C
keep slaying it, hank!
