Up here in Maine, it's quite cool on a summer morning, but by 10:00 that begins to give way. By noon, it is hot. And it stays hot pretty much as long as the sun is up. The heat seems to accumulate, for lack of a better word, all day, as the sun heats up the surfaces and it is irradiated back to the atmosphere. By 19:00 the sun is low enough on the sky that some heat begins to dissipate, and by 21:00 it's getting cool again, even if it's not dark.
On some summer evenings, we need to wear sweatshirts, even if it was a steamy day.

About 17 here in the Seattle area, then it always cools off nicely by a good 20 degrees overnight, starting when the sun goes down. That might be as late as
23 on the longest days, but then we rarely get above the 80sF (27C).
Yeah, I've found quite a few days in summer here where highs have been recorded after 17:00. This is also given the fact that in July our sunrise is before 5am until mid month and almost all of the month has sunsets past 21:00. So over 3/4 of the way through sunlight we can see our max in summer.
NE Ohio generally between 16:00 and 18:00 (we're on EST daylight saving time so in reality that would be 15:00 to 17:00
This is conditional based on proximity to Lake Erie and direction and strength of wind and amount of cloud cover. Further away from lake in mid July to late August it may be hottest even later especially if no wind. Recall drought heat wave of 1988 and it was unbearable (still high 70s f at 0200-0400). Thank you Willis Carrier for inventing A/C.
