It is winter in the northern hemisphere when the southern hemisphere tilts toward the sun. Interestingly enough, the Earth is closer to the Sun at that time!
The (slight - 0.0167 ) eccentricity of the Earths orbit puts this planet at aphelion (furthest from the Sun) in the beginning of July and perihelion (closest to the Sun) in the beginning of January.
This is one of the many factors that makes the Southern hemisphere seasons more extreme than those of the northern hemisphere.
