Much hotter as the sun's rays are striking the earth almost at an 90o angle. Only equatorial mountains get any temperature relief.

Altitude: the higher you are, the cooler the air is, at least until entering the tropopause Latitude: the closer you are to the poles, the cooler the climate tends to be. Oceans: the closer to being downwind from an ocean or other large body of water, the closer the air is the temperature of the water surface. Further away, the air is more the temperature of the land which varies in temperature greatly.
