As Australia lies in the Southern Hemisphere, the Sun is overhead on the Tropic of Capricorn during this time. So it is hot in Australia. But India is in Northern hemisphere, which is tilted away from the Sun. Due to the inclination of earth's axis, opposite seasons occur in the two countries Australia and India, which lie in different hemispheres.
