There is no single answer to that. Different parts of the northern hemisphere will have different lengths of daylight on the 21st of June.

So you need to know exactly where in the northern hemisphere you are before the question can be answered.

Must latitude be described as north or south unless it is the equator?
Yes. The equator is defined as the 'zero' of latitude. For every latitude number, there's one of them north of the equator and another one with the same number south of the equator. In order to be clear about which one you mean, you have to mention the label 'north' or 'south' along with the number.
