2009 June 21 05:45 UTC The summer solstice is the same instant all over the world, it's just that in Australia it is colder than at the winter solstice.
A solstice is an astronomical event that happens twice each year, when the tilt of the Earth'saxis is most inclined toward or away from the Sun, causing the Sun's apparent position in the sky to reach its northernmost or southernmost extreme. The name is derived from the Latinsol (sun) and sistere (to stand still), because at the solstices, the Sun stands still indeclination; that is, the apparent movement of the Sun's path north or south comes to a stop before reversing direction. The term solstice can also be used in a wider sense, as the date (day) when this occurs. The solstices, together with the equinoxes, are connected with the seasons. In some cultures they are considered to start or separate the seasons while in others they fall in the middle. (Wikipedia)

Different places have different definitions for when summer begins and ends. I go by the rule that summer begins at the moment of the summer solstice and ends at the moment of the autumnal equinox. In the northern hemisphere the date of the summer solstice ranges from June 19 to June 23, and the date of the autumnal equinox ranges from September 21 to September 24.
