Final answer:

The high temperature normally occurs in the late afternoon when the Sun is at its highest point in the sky.

Step-by-step explanation:

The high temperature normally occurs in the late afternoon. During the first half of the day, the Sun has not yet reached the meridian (the great circle in the sky that passes through our zenith). The time when the Sun is in the south, at its highest point in the sky, is halfway between sunrise and sunset, which is typically in the late afternoon.
