Sun Angle and Temperature Andy | October 12, 2022 On October 28th, the maximum sun angle is 34.1 degrees, but the average high is 55 degrees. In contrast, on February 15th, the maximum sun angle is 34.8 degrees but the average high is 35 degrees. So the sun is higher in the sky in mid-February then late October, but it’s cooler. Why? Because the earth retains heat, it causes the average temperature to lag about 22 days behind the angle of sun.
