Interesting that despite it still being summer and roasty toasty in the southern hemisphere in January, the world average temp is still lower than the northern hemisphere summer.
The southern hemisphere has a lot more water surface area, which has a larger heat capacity, is somewhat reflective, and a lower density / conductivity.
This is why Australians and Brazilians are known to be amphibious during summer.

Yeah that was my thought, turns out the land water ratio in the northern hemisphere is 2:3 while it’s 1:4 in the southern hemisphere
