This is only true for the northern hemisphere.
The reason is that the further south you go, the more directly overhead the sun is on average. The means that there is more heat from the sun per square mile.

∙ 14y agoSouthern states are warmer than northern states (in the United States) because the south is much closer to the equator. The equator is an imaginary line around the middle of the earth that separates it in half. It's always warm near the equator because that's where the sun is at its strongest and its closest to the earth. That's pretty much it in a nutshell!
