That description isn't true at all. In fact, it's just the opposite: Summer is the time of year when
the sun rises earliest and sets latest, giving us the longest periods of daylight ... and heating.
When the sun appears directly overhead at the Tropic of Cancer, it is the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. Conversely, when the sun appears directly overhead at the Tropic of Capricorn, it is the winter solstice in the Southern Hemisphere.
In the Southern Hemisphere, the sun appears lower in the sky in December due to the summer solstice occurring during that month, resulting in longer days and higher temperatures. In June, during the winter solstice, the sun is higher in the sky and the days are shorter and cooler.

The Tropic of Cancer is a parallel line located at approximately 23.5 degrees north latitude. It marks the northernmost point where the sun appears directly overhead at noon during the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.
Apia, Samoa: UTC + 14 hrs. during Summer Time (Daylight Saving Time), late September until early April
The sun appears to rise latest and set earliest during the winter months, typically around December. This is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis, causing the sun's angle to be lower in the sky and resulting in shorter daylight hours.
No, I think
The date of the shortest day is the December solstice (dec 21-22) in the northern hemisphere and June solstice (June 20-21) in the southern hemisphere. However, due to the motions of the earth the date of the earliest sunset occurs before that date, and the latest sunrise occurs after that date. The actual date of the earliest sunset and latest sunrise depends on your latitude. The actual times of sunset and sunrise depend both on latitude and longitude.

The sun rises latest in the day during winter, particularly around the winter solstice, which is usually around December 21st in the Northern Hemisphere. At this time, the days are shortest and the nights are longest, causing the sun to rise later in the morning.
