NZ must have swapped with Aussie -was supposed to be cold here, burt has mostly just been gloomy and mild.
No, that was just MetService, who predicted a coldish June. NIWA prediction is for average to above average for the winter as a whole, so far correct.
For a substantial area, it certainly has been gloomy - some June record low sun tallies may be set.
This is just June 5-12, but that's a fair chunk of winter so far. Slightly above average so far if anything. This cold snap will last all of about three days then right back to normal.
Don't forget also that the outlook is based on "chance of above median", there's nothing definite about it, even a 90% of going above median gives a 10% chance of going below. They were wrong about autumn here though, they were predicting more below median than above and instead it was a near record breaker.

June 01-17 temperature anomaly, parts of South America with significant below average temperatures, others parts of Southern Hemisphere not much above or below, except for Antarctic and it sea.

They got today right at least, with a maximum of 8C, and 43 mm of rain since about 10:00am.

"Strait of Magellan effect snow" will be active next days as very cold winds(below 0C) from Antarctic will flow over it relative warm waters, always funny to see that.
Is sea-effect snow or any kind of effect snow possible in the Southern Hemisphere? I would've thought temperatures never get cold enough for it to happen.

It happen everytime on the Southern Ocean as the cold airmass from Antarctic drive over the waters.
To an sea or lake effect snow happen, there need to be an below zero C° airflow over an relative warm water. The current water temperature in Strait of Magellan is 7C and the models show an temperature 0C/-1C at the surface.
