Summers are warmer than winters because: There are fewer midlatitude cyclones in the summer. The polar front is weaker in the summer. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases in the summer due to the vegetation and photosynthesis. The sun is higher in the sky and the days are longer in summer, due to the tilt of the earth. The earth is closer to the sun in the summer.
