January: The North and South Pole show extremes while southern hemisphere seems to be experiencing more reflectance than the northern hemisphere is in general.
February: Minimal/Less of the lightest yellow color appears on the map (mostly a green color) and the darkest blue color looks like it is receding north.
March: March through June show a similar transition from one extreme to the next. The northern hemisphere becomes more reflective and parts of the southern hemisphere becomes less.
April
May
June: June shows an almost reverse of January because the Earth has switched the directions of the tilt.
July: July through December shows the opposite transition as February through June.
