This issue is problematic for regional grids crossing the 180th meridian.

Using projection=ccrs.PlateCarree(central_longitude=180) shows wrong longitudes in the labels and when hovering.

Using projection=ccrs.PlateCarree() creates a thin 360 degrees long plot that looks awful.
Adding global_extent=True makes the plot look a bit better but a regional grid looks tiny in a global plot.

Has anyone found a fix or a workaround for this?

You could likely overwrite the ticks manually by zipping through the bad ticks with the correct ticks labels
