👉 The term "southwesterlies" refers to a type of weather system that occurs in the southern hemisphere, particularly in Australia and New Zealand. These systems are characterized by warm air moving towards the equator and eventually reaching cooler temperatures on the opposite side of the continent. The temperature difference between these two sides is high, resulting in extreme heatwaves or droughts. Southwesterlies can also cause thunderstorms and rain, as well as strong winds and precipitation.
