For the same reason that it's not hottest at noon: temperature lags heat input. The earth doesn't come to equilibrium on the day with the highest heat input; the next day the sun is still putting enough heat into the system to make it a little warmer. And the next day and so on until the heat input drops enough that it's not quite enough to make things continue to get hotter, then the temperature starts to drop. The higher the heat capacity, the greater the lag. Oceans can store a lot more heat than land. Places that are dominated by oceans (like the west coast of North America) are not only more moderate, the annual high comes later than in places that are far from oceans. The the highest average daily high Omaha is in mid-July, three weeks after the solstice. In Seattle it's the first week of August, three weeks later.
The longest day-length in India occurs around June 21st, which is the summer solstice. On this day, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, resulting in the longest period of daylight of the year.

You need to identify: what country you're talking about and how far north the country is.
. . the summer solstice, June 21.
The longest day is the summer solstice. Since Egypt is in the northern hemisphere, that would normally be June 20 or 21.
1) The UK is NOT closest to the sun on 21 June (its closest somewhere around January). 2) It's not hottest on the longest day of the year because of the latent heat of the earth. Note that it is coldest before dawn, NOT just after sunset.
well for starters summer isnt a day
