 Temps are normally "in the shade". If you place
a thermometer in direct sunlight, it might just
break, and will definitely show a higher temp.

 I was just saying that I know how hot it was
outside the car, and we'll just have to guess how
hot it was inside as I don't have a thermometer
inside the car. Either way, the LCD was not
obviously affected.
