So "southernmost" would mean any place in the southern hemisphere, right?? The closer to antartica the most "southernmost"??
Im confused cause people seem to be telling about places in the NORTHERN hemisphere only. Living in the southern hemisphere i live waaay southern that those "close to the equator" places you mention.
So, i guess that for now the biggest range in southern/northern is mine
Southernmost: Bariloche, Argentina: 41 S
Northernmost: Minneapolis, USA 44 N

I think NorthStarDelight has the largest range... 56N to 47S.
Northernmost: Los Angeles -- 34 N. Went in August and it was hot and sunny -- far more so than my ten-year-old self had ever experienced before. Not uncomfortable though.
Lowest latitude: Asau, Samoa -- 13.5 S. Went in Southern winter. Hot and humid with sunny mornings giving way to cloudy (often rainy / stormy) afternoons.
Southernmost: Invercargill, New Zealand -- 46 S. Went in Southern winter during a nasty cold snap. Horrible weather, afternoon temps hovering not much above freezing (about 5 C or so), freezing nights, very short days. Sunnier than I expected though.
Northernmost point I've been to: Everett,WA: 47.9792° N, 122.2008° W. I used to live there. I remember coming home from kindergarten in November and then it would get dark about two hours later(sometime around 5pm). The cloudy weather kind of enhanced this darkness. In the summer, I once went to be while the sun was still up.
Southernmost point I've ever been to: San Antonio,TX: 29°32'N. 98°28'W. I was at Sea World as a baby.
The northernmost latitude I've visited is 70N in Deadhorse, Alaska (ET/Tundra climate).
The southernmost latitude I've visited is 21N in Honolulu, Hawaii (As/Dry summer tropical savannah climate).
The northernmost latitude I've lived in is 61N in Anchorage, Alaska (Dfc/Subarctic climate).
The southernmost latitude I've lived in is 33N in coastal California (Csa/Dry summer subtropical climate).
Deadhorse itself is such a complete dump but the North Slope is a very beautiful place. I went in early September and the temperatures sat between 28F and 38F with some very light rain and flurries. There was a lot of standing water and mud and not really any grass or substantial vegetation so Deadhorse looked pretty desolate. Places on the North Slope farther from the coast have more vegetation but it's still very low lying. At this time of year the vegetation is dark red.
I saw some reindeer grazing and saw their breath coming out of their nostrils. Also some musk oxen but no polar bear sightings.
Some day I'd like to drive to Deadhorse in December or maybe March since it is a lot sunnier in March but still very cold. There is nothing to do there though. I mean...there is NOTHING to do there.
The summers I experienced in Anchorage were abysmal, even by their standards. The warmest it ever got while I was there (for two and a half years) was 77F. (Which occurred in late May)
I saw the aurora borealis once and that was in Anchorage in early May. All the others times there was auroral activity it was too cloudy.
The seasonal light change in Anchorage didn't bother me too much but it did affect my sleeping habits. On Winter Solstice, the sun officially rises around 10:15am but because of the mountains to the east/southeast, it takes another hour until you actually see the sun on a clear day so really, sunrise is 11:15am there. Sunset at the earliest is 3:41pm.
It was hard to get up in the morning in Winter. I just wanted to sleep and sleep. And then in the Summer I couldn't sleep until 5am or so...but it didn't bother me. It was interesting.
In the Summer, the sun sets at 11:45pm or so at the latest and then it is twilight for the rest of the night until 3am or so when it starts to get noticeably lighter. Sunrise is around 4:19am at the earliest.
North Most I Beleive is Oslo 59.8 N (I beleive stockholm is just south of Oslo)?
South is Great Ocean Road Australia, which has being stated a few times before.
