The sun peaks at around 13:00 BST. At 15:00 the sun is the same strength
as
at 11:00.


that's what I don't follow.
If the sun peaks at 1 how can the temp go up for the next four hours?(I am
not a meteorologist)



There is still more heat coming in than going out. Net result is a rise in
temp.

The opposite process is responsible for the lowest temps in winter to be
recorded up to an hour AFTER the sun has risen. The sun is so weak that
more heat is being radiated away from Earth than is coming in from the sun.
