Festivities of Natural Annual Events Around The World: Australis Transequilux (Midway Global Solstice & Equinox) July 30, 2015

Solterrestriale Vocabulum (Solar-Earth Terms) BriefSeasonal Occurrences

During the transition between the Solstice and Equinox earth is oriented with borealis’s pole further from the sun, and australis’s pole coming closer.

In Borealis the days are getting shorter, seeing the earth’s daily turning view of the sun closer to the southern horizon. Within the Borealis Polus Axis the sun is visible for all 24hrs of a day with the exception of the polus axis itself where the horizon blocks the view of the sun for a few hours.

South of the Borealis Polus Axis, and where the majority of earth’s population is (at and just north of the Borealis Sol Axis with the addition of Southern & Western Europe) It is the beginning of harvest season, monsoon season is on where monsoons occur, it is mid-hurricane season moving towards its peak in the Atlantic, and it is peak typhoon season in the western Pacific.

For the Tropics, this is when the Tropical Rain Belt is at its most northern point in the year (hence the monsoons). On the continent of Africa the rains on the Ethiopian and East African mountains would bring the flooding of the Nile to its peak this time of year.

In Borealis as a whole it is the warmest time of year and for most regions it is the wettest time of year getting the majority of their annual rain fall during this time, with the exception of mediterranean climates which are in their driest time of year.

The equator will be seeing the daily turning view of the sun closer to the center of the sky from the north.

For Australis the days are getting longer with the daily turning view of the sun becoming higher along the north horizon.

South of the equator it is the coldest time of year and the driest for most regions, with the exception of rain forest regions which remain mostly constant throughout the year and mediteranean climates which get their peak rainfall this time of year. Certain regions are having a second harvest or sowing.

Within the Australis Polus Axis the sun isn’t visible at all,  but at the polus axis it is night with nine hours of twilight, and at the pole it is constant twilight.
