It's weird that it's standard time considering more of the year is spent in summer time.

It's not weird considering that historically it has been the standard time and only later the daylight saving time idea (aka summer time) was introduced. Plus on the equator you don't really need them as such and on the southern hemisphere they'd be the opposite.
