When I started my car (after work @ 3:30), the thermometer read 114 outside. Ten minutes later, it had “dropped” to 112. I’m thinking bs, but then I checked the weather app on my phone and it said 111 in Irving, TX.

This is what some apparently call “indoors season” ... it’s what is between early summer and fall.

Difference between your car sitting in the hot sun, in a hot parking lot vs. moving through ‘clean’ (slightly less hot) air over hot pavement.

I hate how toasty my feet get when I’m driving and the weather is like this. If I set the climate control to vents & feet, it’s better, but then I feel like I’m not getting enough through the vents. I kind of miss the days when cars had proportional flapper valve control over that sort of thing.

And yes, it’s dang hot. Although I remember back in 90-something when a friend came to visit in September and the highs were around 114. Picked him up in the evening at the airport and it was still 106. Stepping out the airport door was like opening your oven door and walking in.
