As the Earth's axis is inclined, during summer in the northern hemisphere places in the north are exposed to the Sun's rays for longer, so days are longer during summer (say in June - Aug). Yet, countries like the UK have a lower summer temperature than countries like India, particularly given that the UK is to the north of India and has longer days in summers). I was just wondering about this. Feel free to share your insights.

Fixed missing comparison (seemed to imply that these places are cooler than in the winter!). And political boundaries are irrelevant/distracting.
In the northern hemisphere summer, why are places in the north cooler than those in the south?
