The problem is aesoteric as it isn't going to hurt anyone now or ever

It is just a matter of timing where exactly south is.

Huh? 'South' doesn't move depending on the time of year or the weather!

South moves as a constant to the subjects involved. Or do you think
that the air masses that bring snowfall to the northern hemisphere
either side of the Atlantic are particularly sedate?
