On 25 dec sunrise at 7.30 am and down at 4.30 pm.

The summer solstice occurs during a hemisphere's summer. This is northern solstice in the northern hemisphere and the southern solstice in the southern hemisphere. Depending on the shift of the calendar, the summer solstice occurs sometime between December 20 and December 23 each year in the southern hemisphere] and between June 20 and June 22 in the northern hemisphere in reference to UTC.

June 20-21 is start of summer in the Northern Hemisphere but simultaneously the start of winter in the Southern Hemisphere. It's also the longest day of sunlight for places in the Northern Hemisphere and the shortest day for cities south of the equator.
