It is the longest day, so it gets the most sunshine, why is it hotter latter in the summer when the days are getting shorter again???

Say you take an old bucket, has a few small holes in it. You get a hose turn it on a little and start filling the bucket. Too much is leaking out the holes and the bucket is not filling so you turn on the hose a little harder. Now it’s filling but you want it faster so you open the hose all the way. The bucket is filling quickly now, but not quite full. You turn the hose down a little and just hold it til the bucket is full.
So the water is heat and how hard the hose is on is how long the day is. The amount of water in the bucket is how hot the day is. The bucket was not full when the hose was on all the way. But even after you turn the hose down (i.e. the days are shorter) the bucket is still filling up. It gets full a little time later. If you keep turning the hose down, soon it will be leaking out faster than it is filling (i.e. the days are cooling off).
