The June Equinox is the start of summer in the Northern Hemisphere and the start of winter in the Southern Hemisphere.
Thermal inertia causes seasonal temperatures to lag insolation by several weeks. Statistically, the hotest temperatures in Denver, Colorado, occur about the fourth week of July. The coolest temperatures occur about the fourth week of January.

June 21 is the 172nd day of the year (173rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar, with 193 days remaining.
In common years it is always in ISO week 25.
This day usually marks the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere and the winter solstice in the southern hemisphere, and thus is the day of the year with the longest hours of daylight in the northern hemisphere and the shortest in the southern hemisphere.

Summer solstice means maximal visible inclination that Sun will achieve in zenith the following day. But it has nothing to do with actual climate, because the atmosphere is very thermodynamically inertial.

Same reason the 21st of December isn't the coldest.
At least where I live.

by june 21, the days are at their longest (summer solstice), however, the ground takes a while to "heat up." this is called "lag time."
