January is summer in the Southern Hemisphere. Likewise, July is winter.

The seasons are reversed in the two hemispheres because the Sun can only shine more directly on either the Northern or Southern hemispheres (creating summer), due to the axial tilt of the Earth.

The heat equator shifts further north in July because during this time, the Northern Hemisphere experiences summer, resulting in warmer temperatures and pushing the warmer air and weather systems northward. In contrast, in January, the Southern Hemisphere experiences summer, but the shift southward of the heat equator is limited by the vast ocean mass in the south hemisphere.
