'Daughter just emailed a photo of the 'outside' temperature reading shown on the dash of her car..................................120 degrees.
(Scottsdale)
That's only because that's as high as the thermometer went. The news here tonight had the annual "fry an egg" on the sidewalk. The inside thermometer on their car pegged at 140, but the infrared thermometer read 160. Dash surface temp was 190 something. Water didn't boil, but cookies baked. Oh, that was at about 11AM before the temp got to 117.
DO NOT LEAVE KIDS OR PETS IN THE CAR! Even with the windows down or the engine running with A/C on. S*** happens.
On a lighter side, the weather guy here ended his forecast session with his observation that echoes mine: I'd rather have a temperature of 117 than shovel snow at -10. Any day of the week!!!!
