Palindromic month

This is a palindromic month. If you write the month and then the year as a string of digits, you get 12021, which is a palindrome.

In fact, this month is the start of a run of nine palindromic months. The last one will be on September 2029, or 92029.

Enjoy it while it lasts. After this, there won’t be another palindromic month for a very long time.

Can you figure out when the next one will be?

  1. As we can observe from the pattern, only the first and the last digit should change with evey subsequent year. The digit next to the first digit and prior to the last digit shold be the same, The middle one doesn’t play any role as long as the length of the sting of numbers is odd. So, if I am not mistaken, the next palindromic month and year should be Jan 2121 (12121), which will be similar to streak of 2020s with nine consequtive years each having a palindromic month.
