If you are in the northern hemisphere, then the day with most daylight is in June. If you are in the southern hemisphere, then it is in December.It is not the answer you are looking for, but you can also say that as clocks go back in October, there is a day that is 25 hours long.
The longest day of the year, also known as the summer solstice, occurs around June 21st in the Northern Hemisphere. It is when the North Pole is tilted closest to the sun, resulting in the longest period of daylight for that hemisphere.
The longest days are in mid-June. June 21 is the very longest day. This is true of any location in the northern hemisphere.

Anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere, the longest days are in June, and the shortest days are in December. The longest day of the year is June 21, and the shortest day is December 21.
The longest period of daylight typically occurs during the summer solstice, which falls around June 21st in the Northern Hemisphere and around December 21st in the Southern Hemisphere. During the summer solstice, locations closer to the poles experience up to 24 hours of daylight due to the tilt of Earth's axis.
Daylight hours on the winter solstice are shorter than the rest of the year because of the Earths rotational tilt. That tilt faces the northern hemisphere away from the sun. This causes the apparent position of the sun throughout the day to be the furthest south during the year and daylight hours to shorten. At the same time of the year the southern hemisphere is experiencing the exact opposite, the longest daylight hours of the year.
