Australia Winter Solstice 2024 Weather. Earth’s tilted axis means our planet’s northern and southern hemispheres are oriented. However, the winter solstice is not quite the coldest part of the year for australia as a whole.

Complementing the equinoxes are the solstices, which mark in winter and summer the shortest and longest days of the year. In fact the word equinox is taken from the latin aequus (equal) and nox(night) or equal night.
