During northern hemisphere summer the sun is in the northern sky in the southern hemisphere. Our sun in the northern hemisphere is almost always in the southern sky unless your south of the tropic of cancer so this is why you have to reverse the sundials if you move to the southern hemisphere.

At what point does the southern hemisphere have the least exposure to the sun?

At which point does the southern hemisphere have the greatest exposure to the sun?
The southern hemisphere has the greatest exposure to the sun during the summer solstice, which occurs around December 21st each year. This is when the South Pole is tilted towards the sun, resulting in longer daylight hours and more direct sunlight in the southern hemisphere.

What country has sun always in the south sky?
In countries located near the equator, such as Ecuador or Colombia, the sun can appear directly overhead at noon during certain times of the year. However, in the Southern Hemisphere, countries like Australia or South Africa can have the sun in the northern sky when it's summer. Conversely, in the Southern Hemisphere, the sun is always in the northern sky during the winter months. Thus, there is no country where the sun is always in the southern sky; its position changes with the seasons and geographical location.
What happens when the south pole tilts toward the sun?
In that case, it's spring or summer in the southern hemisphere, and autumn or winter in the northern hemisphere.
