In June the northern hemisphere is tiled towards the sun and in December the Southern Hemisphere is most tilted towards the sun so in spring/autumn wouldn’t the equator be most towards the sun so it would be hotter?
In: Physics
The tilt towards the sun does affect the amount of energy you get from the sun per unit area but that is only part of the story in terms of seasonal temperatures.
Altitude, air currents, ocean currents, distance to the sea etc all play a huge role in determining the ground and more importantly air temperature of your area.
Since land heats up faster than water, if the air currents push the hot air away and bring cooler air from the sea, you’re going to feel cooler.
