I saw a news article it is snowing in Tasmania while the rest of the nation swelters. Will be interesting to see what happens during future winters down under.

Maybe it is an exception below a certain latitude?



Edit: looking at the historical climate of Australia, the warm weather doesn't seem to be abnormal but perhaps the snow in Tasmania in the summer is abnormal:

Edit#2: note on Figure 2 on page 3, that as the northern hemisphere warmed up to year 2000 (the year Armstrong says the poles movement abruptly changed direction), the Andes region was cooling, yet since 2000 as the northern hemisphere cools, the Andes region is warming and its neighboring hot regions are moderating to less extremely hot:

Edit#3: appears the southern South America became colder during the last LIA:

But the plains and north may have suffered drought and become warmer:

So that seems to be consistent with the pattern of changes @trollercoaster is observing in Australia.
