Northern Hemisphere satellite

Noted the 'heat' accumulation 12 o'clock on this satellite. It has been there from the time Antartica was observed, a week ago, to have the same type of phenomina over the Blue Ice. In the previous satellite there was a noted 'heat accumulation' over the Libia desert at the edge of the Mediterranian. This heat mass today has moved to displacement over the Himalayas. The Tibetan Plateus is at 12 o'clock on this satellite. This is new 'heat displacement' as I recall it.
