Answer:

The Sun is shinning directly over the Tropic of Cancer which is the latitude 23.5 degrees north.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first day of summer in the Northern hemisphere is the day with the longest period of light. That day the sunset sets slowly and takes longer to set below the horizon and your shadow is the shortest it will be in the whole year.
