the Solstice happens in June (im talking about the northern hemisphere of course, for southern, reverse the facts). so June is the sunniest month, the one with the most sun light. but on average, July is the hottest in most of the hemisphere.
the reason is that it takes the Earth some time to be heated. so temperatures lag by some time. so we get the most sunlight in June (because the Earth is tilted most towards the Sun at the time), heats up the Earth, then hottest month in July.
as i've mentioned before, the phenomenon can be witnesses daily: high noon is at 12 or 1 (daylight savings), yet again it takes some time for the Earth to heat up, so the hottest time of the day is a couple hours later. happens almost every day, barring storms etc. .
