What if all continents were moved 20 degrees south latitude except Antarctica? (climate, tornado)

[deneb78]

What if all continents were moved 20 degrees south latitude except Antarctica which was moved into the tropical Pacific thus eliminating the Antarctic Circumpolar current and having ocean in the antarctic instead of a continent? Here are the latitudes of various world cities. Guess their climates

London 31N
New York 20N
Moscow 36N
Los Angeles 14N
Hong Kong 2N
Beijing 20N
Shanghai 11N
Tokyo 15N
Cairo 10N
Johannesburg 46S
Rio de Janeiro 42S
Sydney 54S
Ushuaia 75S
Esperanza Base (tropical Antarctica) 27N
South Pole (tropical Antarctica) 0N

Thoughts?

I would enjoy living in Melbourne or Canberra in that case.

Much of Argentina and Bolivia would also be very nice.

Australia would be colder and bigger?

[tommyFL]

London would have a hot summer mediterranean climate.

Colder yes but still the same size

I wonder if Ushuaia at 75S would be like Longyearbyen in reality

London would have a BSh climate like Tripoli.

maybe warmer,tierra del fuego is almost connected with the continent. svalbard not.

Australia's range of climates would change from tundra in the south to oceanic in the north and continental in the interior.

Vancouver would become a tropical desert climate similar to central Baja (which you'd love!!!!)

London would have a temperature range similar to Cairo but with a lot more rain!

Siberia would become similar to the central U.S. sans the extreme tornado activity.

Los Angeles would become a tropical monsoon climate.

Boston and New York City would become similar to Miami and the Florida Keys.

Japan would become an equatorial rainforest.

Southern Chile and Argentina would become probably more similar to far northern Canada and northern Alaska than to Scandinavia.

I think in this scenario, tundra and ice cap climates would be quite rare and only limited to South America south of 60S, various other southern ocean islands like the South Island of NZ as well as high elevation areas. Australia would not be a tundra at low elevations even in the southern part due to continental influence.
