It wouldn't be on June 1; it would be at the precise clock time on June 20 or 21, whenever the equinox is. The official start of the new season is the precise point in time when the sun crosses the line of the equator, not a particular day.

Sounds like a pizza, doesn't it?

Well, have you wondered where you can stand in four seasons at the same time? Probably not. Well here is the answer:

1) On the Columbian-Brazil border:

2) Internal Brazil: Boundary of Para and Amapa:

3) Internal DR Congo: Boundary of Equateur and Orientale

4) On DR Congo-Uganda border:

Explanation?

From June 1st N of Equator starts summer, S of Equator starts winter

Each N-S boundary about also marks a time zone boundary

so W of the line is one hour behind E of the line.

So if you stand in

Columbia N of equator at 00.30 am Columbian time it's summer

Columbia S of equator at 00.30 am Columbian time it's winter

Brazil N of equator at 00.30 am Columbian time it's spring

Brazil S of equator at 00.30 am Columbian time it's fall

How about that?

The bad news are that all four points seems hard to reach.
