Depends on your location.

If you're in Kansas the Sun appears farthest north in azimuth at sunrise and sunset sometime around the time of the summer solstice.

The Sun appears exactly south in azimuth at local apparent noon each day.

At the summer and winter solstices. We are coming up to the winter solstice.
