It all boils back to the Buy's Ballot therory:If you stand with your back to the wind in the southern hemisphere the cold air is to your right.During winter in the southern hemisphere in june-july,the warm air from the equator(hadley cells) rise and meet up the colder air from the southern hemisphere and this mixture of hot and cold air creates the jetstream effect we see at 20 degrees south
