Solar Radiation, Heat Balance and Temperature

Question

In India, why is the day temperature maximum in May and why not after the summer solstice 

Answer

After the winter solstice, the Northern Hemisphere is inclined towards the sun. As a result, the sun's rays are vertical over the Tropic of cancer. It is on 21st June. So the month of May and June experience maximum temperature. But after the summer solstice, the autumnal equinox starts. Thus the temperature starts to decline.
