The TV know-it-all’s keep telling us that if the air temperature is 90°F, the interior will reach 109°F in ten minutes. Now, I’m not going to make a stink about a generalization, but I’m just curious about how big a variation there might be. I presume it is affected by many things, including
- Angle of the sun
- Shadows of trees/buildings
- Time of day
- Wind
- Clouds
- Humidity
- Size, shape, orientation of car
- Paint color
- Window tint
- Window size
- Interior fabrics
- (and more)
