Note: This response is for the northern hemisphere....
In the summer, even though the earth is slightly farther away from the sun, the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun. This means that the amount of time that the sun is shining on the surface in a 24 hour period is longer (longer days), and it also means that the sun's rays and energy are coming more "Straight down" at us instead of coming at an angle.
The combination of the longer days (meaning the sun is warming the earth for a longer time) as well as the more direct sunlight (it doesn't have to go through as much atmosphere to get to the ground) makes the temperature higher in the summer.
