It is measured exactly the same in the Southern Hemisphere (no difference between the two hemispheres).

It is the difference between magnetic north and true north and it varies all over the globe.

Magnetic declination (also called magnetic variation) is positive when magnetic north is east of true north (clockwise) and it is negative when magnetic north is west of true north (anti-clockwise).
