If it is the longest day because it gets the most sunlight why is it not the hottest on average? Why does it not correlate with the hottest day of the year?
In: Physics
Temperature depends on a number of factors beyond just the number of hours of sunlight on a particular day. Clear skies instead of clouds blocking the sunlight, weather patterns bringing in warm air masses from more southerly areas, a general lag as the landscape warms up from days and weeks of long days of sun.
