When the sun is directly overhead, the sunlight is most intense.
At either of the tropics the sun's rays are most directly overhead at mid-day in mid summer.
The intensity of the Sun is directly related to it's height in the sky. Mid- Day is therefore the most dangerous time. In Indiana, on the far far west of EDT zone, mid-day does not occur until around 1:50pm. You can figure mid-day locally by taking the halfway point between sunrise and sunset at your location. Should be about 1pm most places on DST, and around noon when on Standard time. I try to avoid the sun from 12 noon -3:40pm in the spring-summer months. I never burn if I follow this plan, and I am very fair skinned. MTW
Delhi does experience the mid day Sun. ALL part of earth experience the mid day Sun (although the polar regions do not for 6 months of the year and sometimes clouds shade the Sun on some days.

we get summer when the sun is facing England. The sun rises up to make the days longer meaning the sun takes longer to get to mid day plus the sun is extra hot than usually.
By definition at mid day
The position of the sun at midday on a winter's day is lower in the sky compared to midday on a summer's day. This is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis, which causes the sun's angle to change throughout the year. In winter, the sun's lower position results in shorter days and less direct sunlight.
Using a compass determine the direction of south. Using a clock find out the time when the sun is south. For every hour after mid-day you are 15 degrees west of the point where the sun is south at mid-day. The clock should be set to mid-day when the sun is at longitude zero to get absolute values rather than relative values.
Rainbows are most likely to occur in the late afternoon as the sun is low in the sky, and after a rain shower when the sun starts to come out. The sun's angle at this time allows the light to be refracted and reflected in the raindrops, creating a rainbow in the sky.
Because the sun is at its fullest at that time.
The sun is typically hottest during the early to mid-afternoon, typically between 2-4pm. This is when the sun is highest in the sky and has the most direct angle on the Earth's surface, leading to maximum heating.
