Well, this is a perfect lead-in to something I've been wondering about. What, exactly, is the relationship between the ambient temperature and time of day. I have the subjective impression that the hottest time of day in the summer is around 3 PM -- 2 hours after the sun crosses the zenith, leaving aside the effect of one's longitudinal location in the time zone.
I looked around on the Internet for an answer but couldn't find anything. All one would have to do is plot the daily temprature against time, but I wonder if the relationship is the same at all latitudes and if it's constant throughout the year.
