Countries That Have Summer in December

Southern Hemisphere Summer: December–February

Because seasons are reversed south of the equator, the following countries experience summer in December (and January, February):

South America

• Brazil
• Argentina
• Chile
• Uruguay
• Paraguay
• Peru (mostly; coastal/Andean zones vary)
• Bolivia (lowlands)
• Ecuador (Galápagos/coast; equatorial regions less seasonal)

Oceania

• Australia

• Papua New Guinea (lowlands)
• Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, and other Pacific islands

Africa

• Namibia
• Botswana
• Zimbabwe
• Mozambique
• Madagascar
• Mauritius
• Seychelles
• Angola, Zambia, Malawi (southern parts)

Note

Countries straddling the equator (e.g., Indonesia, Kenya, Ecuador) have less distinct seasons; "summer" is not a clear concept there. The list above covers nations where December falls squarely in the warmest season.
