During winter in the Northern Hemisphere, the region of the ocean that receives the greatest input of solar radiation is the Southern Hemisphere, particularly around the equator and in the tropical regions. This is because these areas are tilted towards the sun during the Northern Hemisphere's winter months. Consequently, the Southern Ocean and surrounding tropical waters experience heightened solar exposure, while the Northern Hemisphere regions receive less direct sunlight.
The Arctic region, anywhere north of the Arctic Circle (approx. latitude 66° 34' N), has the greatest number of daylight hours when it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere. The Antarctic (including almost all of Antarctica), south of the Antarctic Circle (approx. latitude 66° 34' S), has the greatest number of daylight hours when it is summer in the Southern Hemisphere.

The Southern Hemisphere experiences summer when the Northern Hemisphere has winter due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. During the December solstice, the Southern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun, resulting in longer daylight hours and more direct sunlight, which warms the region. Conversely, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, leading to shorter days and less direct sunlight, causing cooler temperatures. This axial tilt creates the opposite seasons in each hemisphere.
Seasons are caused by the tilt of the Earth, when the North Pole points more towards the Sun it's Summer in the Northern Hemisphere and Winter in the Southern Hemisphere, when the North Pole points away from the Sun it's Winter in the Northern Hemisphere and Summer in the Southern Hemisphere. The reason the tilt changes the season is that it affects the total solar radiation on the surface due to this angle, when you're pointed away from the Sun the sunlight gets spread out more than when you're pointed towards the Sun. Because the Earth is always tilted at an angle of about 23.5° there will be seasons everywhere. However places around the equator, where the change in solar irradiance change is at a minimum you'll not really experience much of a change in seasons from "Summer" to "Winter"
