By southern sea, I mean all the sea between Antarctica and Africa/S America/Australia. The pacific ocean is equally vast but yet it’s milder. I was looking at global winds on a website and almost the entire Southern Sea perpetually faces 60+ kmph winds. There are even 3000+ km long stretches of continuous 80 kmph winds. Why?

The ocean between South America and Australia *is* the Pacific my guy…
Do you mean the Southern Ocean? Because that is much, *much* smaller than the Pacific and only really encircles Antarctica below the 60°S latitude.
Or do you mean the Southern Ocean, and those bits of Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans that intersect?
