How do you think the world's climate would change if all of the continents were shifted south by 10° of latitude and Antarctica was shifted north 10° in the direction of Australia.
So the Arctic Ocean would be much bigger and Antarctica would be shifted ~1111 km in the direction of Australia... Among other things I'm guessing the Siberian High would be weaker, and most of Asia north of Fujian would have much hotter summers. The Mediterranean would be like the Persian Gulf (extremely hot and humid (sub)tropical desert), while the Arabian Peninsula and Indian Sea coast of Iran + Pakistan might get enough monsoon rainfall to not be a desert? The part of Africa currently at the Sahara's latitude would be "green", but the seasonal temperature/rainfall pattern of West Africa might not be that different? Most of the US east of the Rockies would experience Texas-level heat during the summer. Southern South America would be interesting...
NYC- Shanghai but without a monsoon and maybe with warmer winters
London- Portugal or Northern California
Moscow- northern Great Plains but with milder and cloudier winters?
Toronto- kind of like Dallas
Miami- similar to Puerto Rico?
Rio de Janeiro- maybe somewhere in between (SH) Shanghai and Brisbane?
Cairo- similar to Khartoum but with lower diurnal variation and possibly Persian Gulf-level summer humidity
Johannesburg- might be far south enough not to have a monsoonal rainfall pattern? Winters would be much colder
Shanghai- Hanoi winters, Mandalay summers? Would probably be significantly less rainy than Taipei, Hong Kong, or possibly even Bangkok due to position on the coast
Singapore- kind of like Jakarta
Sydney- maybe like coastal France or New Zealand? Interior Australia would probably still be arid but there wouldn't be 50 C freak heatwaves across the whole continent
