The Temperate zone occupies the coastal hinterland of New South Wales, much of Victoria, Tasmania, the south-eastern corner of South Australia and the south-west of Western Australia. The seasons in the temperate zone are described in terms of European seasons applied to the southern hemisphere in the following sequence:
Summer: December to February
Autumn: March to May
Winter: June to August
Spring: September to November
The solstices happen somewhere in the middle of the season.
Here in Tasmania, winter started June 1 so it is winter here and has officially been winter for 3 weeks. It has also been winter-y since May 10.
