Here in the South Hemisfere we are in Autumn. Temperatures are getting lower as the Winter approaches. I don't like cold weather, although where I live temperatures never go below 15 degress centigrade (59 degrees farenheight?)

Well, June arrived, and with it another hard frost.
Now we have a real winters day this Sabbath, and I believe the tempreture would only be in the single digits today, like about 8 deg c
The log fire is burning
and I need to go warm my toes

It's so hard sometimes to realize that in other parts of the world winter is setting in, the days are short and a fire is needed to keep warm. Thanks for the reminder.

I am so used to thinking June-August as WARM months and November-January as COLD months that it almost shocks me when on the other side of the world (or down under) it is the opposite. It seems so strange.
Let's see, it seems to me that your water goes down a drain the opposite ways of the northern hemisphere, am I right? What else is different?

Yeah, Zita what's the story? Everytime I've been to N-Zed or Oz i was too busy to notice: which direction does the water drain down the drain, clockwise or counter-clockwise????

quote:
Myth: Water always spins clockwise down a drain in the northern hemisphere.
At some point, most of us have heard that water spins down a drain in different directions depending on which hemisphere we happen to be in. The fact is, the coriolis force (an apparent force as a result of the earth's spin) has virtually nothing to do with which direction the water spins as it empties down a drain. Although this force is "real" and does have an affect on other large, long-lived systems that travel great distances (such as hurricanes, high and low pressure systems, and long range artillery shells), water draining from toilets, sinks and bathtubs are rendered virtually immune from its affects. The coriolis force is much too weak to have any affect on such small, short-lived rotating body of water under normal conditions.

But Tom, isn't there a difference between hurricanes and cyclones or--oh oh, can't remember what they call hurricanes in the southern hemisphere--but isn't this where they turn in different directions?

Now you've got me filling and emptying the sink and flushing - so far it's clockwise. Don't leave us hanging here - is it always clockwise?

You can compare this with the gravity of the sun. It affects the earth keeping it spinning around it. But the suns gravity does not affect us humans in any noticeable way (except affecting our environment of course). This is becourse the earths gravity is so much stronger on earths surface that any sun gravity reaching here is drowned in earth gravity. The same thing with the spinning effects. There are simply other forces that are so much stronger in the sink that its overwhelming.

Just did a special demo and came up with clockwise.
Speaking of water, we watched a report on TV last night, telling us about the changes that are taking place in the Northern Hemisphere in water temperatures and how it is going to affect Europe in the next 3 decades, bringing the air temperature down to between 5 and 10 C.
Here in the Southern Hemisphere, the temperature is going to increase.
Another sign that Jesus is about to return to the earth to reclaim His own.
