Well I wouldn't go quite that far to say it's nearly halfway between equator and south pole. It's 71% of the way to the south pole, which is quite a bit more than 50%.

I'm sitting right on top of half way, at the 45th parallel.

It's a good point though, that it isn't "The pole" and it is summer. All I can say is it doesn't affect me or anyone I know, so I won't stress about it. Pretty chilly this morning at the 45th though.
