The solstices are generally on June 21 and December 21; the equinoxes are usually on March 21 and September 21. These dates can vary a day or two either way, depending on the cycle of leap years.
The summer solstice can occur on any of the 7 days of the week with equal likelihood. There are 5 weekdays (Monday to Friday) out of 7 days, so the probability that the summer solstice will occur on a weekday is 5/7 or approximately 0.714.

The December Solstice occurs in December. It marks the shortest day and longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere and the longest day and shortest night in the Southern Hemisphere. The Equinox occurs around March and September when day and night are of equal length.

The solstices occur when the Sun reaches its maximum angular distance above or below the sky's "celestial equator". At local noon, at the solstice, the Sun is at its highest in the sky (summer solstice) or lowest (winter solstice) for the year. The solstices occur around the 21st of June and 21st of December. The summer solstice is in June in the northern hemisphere and in December in the southern hemisphere. At the summer solstice, the Sun is overhead at local noon on the tropic of Cancer (northern hemisphere) and the tropic of Capricorn (southern hemisphere).
In the southern hemisphere, the winter solstice can occur as early as June 19 to as late as June 23. In the northern hemisphere, the winter solstice can be as early as December 20 to as late as December 23.
