* Inverted in ''Literature/{{Tigana}}'', although the book is never explicitly stated to be in the southern hemisphere it generally gets colder the farther south you go. The eponymous peninsula has a largely Mediterranean climate while the land to the south is described as a frigid pine forest with a vaguely Celtic culture, inverting the stereotypes of classical Europe.

* Averted in ''Literature/TheBelgariad'' and ''The Mallorean''. The two great continents where the stories take place both stretch across both hemispheres, although most of the action takes place in the Northern hemisphere, at one point the protagonists do journey below the equator and they notice the seasons invert. It's also mentioned that the southernmost parts of Cthol Murgos, a country which starts a little above the equator and stretched down the whole length of the continent, are very cold year-round.

Added DiffLines:

* In ''TabletopGame/TheDelversGuideToBeastWorld'', the northmost part of the continent is the most inhospitable parts of the Scandi-Russian nation of Oria, while the southmost parts are the more Mediterranean Vinyot and the split rainforest/desert nation of Arneria. It's specifically mentioned that this continent is not the whole world, but what lies beyond it is unknown.

* ''Toys/{{BIONICLE}}'': Mata Nui, the island where the first three years of the story takes place, is an aversion; there's a hot desert in the north, with a tropic rainforest in the south. The middle section between the two is divided between a volcanic region in the east, and an icy mountain range in the west. No, it doesn't make much sense, a fact that gets lampshaded at least once, and is justified by TheReveal that the island was artificially created.

Added DiffLines:

* Played with in ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonOneWorld'', where the coldest region of Salmiakki is to the north-west and the tropical Halo Halo village is to the south-east. The hottest part of the world, though, is the desert tucked more to the east, above the tropical location.
* ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonTheWindsOfAnthos'' has the coldest areas taking up the north-west corner of the world map, and the beach, alongside a Volcano, are found in the far south-east. The hottest area is the desert, which is in the eastern part of the world, but surrounded by grasslands on one side and the mountains on the other, leaving it a sort of hot spot on the map.

Much like with LeftJustifiedFantasyMap, the modern logic of this trope is often inherited from European centered climate and geography.

Much like with LeftJustifiedFantasyMap, the modern logic of this trope can come from Fantasy Medieval settings mimicking European centered climate and geography.

Compare LeftJustifiedFantasyMap, where maps geographically structure themselves like Europe (which can lead to this trope).
