Why is the temperature outside not the same as it was exactly 365 days ago?

If it takes the earth 365 days to complete one rotation around the sun, why is the temperature outside not the same as it was on June 22, 2022? I understand that clouds and rain change the temperature but that’s not the only reason right?

There are countless other variables—so many that even supercomputers have trouble tracking them.

The simple direction that the wind is coming from that day will cause a big swing: warmer air can be brought in from the south, or cooler from the north (in the Northern Hemisphere). Also, how air mixes from the upper atmosphere will change ground level air temp.

Shifting ocean currents bring water of different temps which will affect the air above, which in turn affect the places the wind blows to.

Whether it’s cloudy or sunny will change temps, as will dust in the air.
