For societies that measure the passage of a year in the same system of months, the months occur at the same times worldwide. But the seasons are opposite for places in the northern hemisphere (such as the U.S.) and places in the Southern Hemisphere (such as Argentina). So although June in the U.S. is June in Argentina, June is summer in the U.S. and winter in Argentina. This is because the Earth's axis is tilted, so when the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun the southern is tilted away, and vice-versa.
