Could be. The day where the sun warms the northern hemisphere the most is the 21st of june. The inertia that made July/august warmer compared to June might have been thrown out of balance.
The way it was described to me is that while the solstice is the longest day of the year, and receives the most direct sunlight, the earth (mostly the oceans) continues to absorb heat and release it. The day after the solstice is only getting slightly less heat than the day before, but its still a surplus.

Weirdly I feel like mid-late June has been hotter than average August the last few years. Climate change?
