This depends on whether you are in the northern or southern hemisphere. The Southern Hemisphere has its summer solstice (the longest day of the year) in December: after that, the southern hemisphere gradually begins to tilt away from the sun, while the northern hemisphere begins to tilt more towards the sun as it moves beyond winter.

What phenomenon creates seasons?
The axis of the Earth's rotation isn't perpendicular to the plane of its orbit around the Sun. As a result, the northern hemisphere (for example) is tilted toward the Sun in June but tilted away from the Sun in December.
What hemisphere is tilted toward the sun during the summer solstice?
The Northern Hemisphere is tilted closest to the sun during its summer solstice, when the southern hemisphere is pointed away during the winter solstice.
