If each of the months has the same internal structure, do something like this:

<xsl:variable name="months" select="month">
<xsl:for-each select="$months[1]/*">
  <xsl:variable name="p" select="position()"/>
  <tr>
    <td><xsl:value-of select="name()"/></td>
    <xsl:for-each select="$months">
      <td><xsl:value-of select="*[$p]"/></td>

Well, I only posted an outline. If you complete it wrongly, or use it in the wrong context, then it won't work. You asked for tips, not for working code.
