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???

The way it was explained to me is think of the earth as a ham in the oven. The outer layer of the ham is the ozone layer. You can expose the ham to 400 degree temps but the internal temperature of the ham slowly rises over time due to the outer layers protecting it from direct exposure. Even if you start turning the temperature down (length of days shortening) it’s still enough heat to cause the internal temperature to continue to rise until it hits its peak.
