I was today years old (actually yesterday but nevermind) when I found out that ...

Seasons are backwards in Australia. And you might think: So what? Who cares?

But... But there are #IELTS tasks about Australia. 🇦🇺

I was writing the overview for the attached IELTS task 1 the other day. Look at what I wrote with my northern-hemisphere brain:

Overall, ... , both cities tend to have colder weather late spring through early autumn, ... . The rainfall pattern, however, is drastically different: while in Canberra precipitation levels increase in summer ...

Can't do that!

Summer is not summer in Australia. Summer is December through February. Et cetera.

Anyways, try your hand at this overview in the comments with backwards references to seasons or avoiding such references altogether. ⬇️
