How to have inputted text equal string in an if statement

How would one go about having the user inputted text equal to a string. If I input "January", I would like the if statement to run and print out "First". However, the else runs instead and "invalid" is printed out.

I have also tried putting single quotes within double quotes just to see if it would work, but it prints out "invalid" as well.

import java.util.Scanner; 

public class LabProgram {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      Scanner scnr = new Scanner(System.in); 
      String inputMonth;
      int inputDay;

      inputMonth = scnr.next();


      if (inputMonth =="January") {
         System.out.println("First");
      }

      else {
         System.out.println("invalid");
      }

   }
}

When I input "January" I expect the output to be "First", but it outputs "invalid".
