My car was parked in the hot sun for about 3 1/2 hours today while I played cards with friends When I left the restaurant and got into the car it was super hot like baking in an oven My car info system said it was 95 degrees but the outside temperature was 85 degrees

The first thing I bought for my new car was Weather Tech window shades. It’s not nearly as bad getting in the car with them up.

I don’t remember what color vehicle you have, but dark colored cars are usually 10 degrees hotter than light colored cars too (according to Mythbusters experiments) lol).

I can relate to what you are saying since according to the news reports, cars inside can become ovens when an auto is exposed in the heat for a period of time.

Do you have a windshield shade? I have found if I must park in full sun on a hot day, that helps a lot!

I guess you were directly in the sun. My car was in the sun when I got in it, but not very hot.

@looeyville No need for all those degrees. I’m fading fast here at 22C / 68F.

Cars sitting in the sun can get really hot.

It happens during summer in Asia. The steering wheel cannot be held till it cools down.

When I had a car, air conditioning was not standard. I used to dread those sunny days

That's why it's so lethal to leave people or pets in a parked car....yet there are still cases of deaths every year. People will never learn.

I really hate that kind of feeling, its too hot and sometimes i felt like im going to faint. so as much as possible i will wait our driver to get in first and turn on the AC. But when we are in a hurry I have no choice but to get in immediately
