Of course if we did add 6 months (mod 12) then we could have hot July (almost) everywhere.

And an australian christmas in June, but it would be worth it!

It's discontinuous. To make this work, stretch the months (add/subtract days) so the tropics only have July August and poles only have Jan/Feb. Adjust holidays appropriately.

And you can add/subtract hours and minutes to days so that the sun rises and sets and the same time all year!
