We had a passing t-storm in NE Atlanta today and my car was outside. Since it`s already plenty hot and humid I thought I`d take a few pics and use my meat thermometer to show how hot things really get.
This is my weather station showing outdoor temp in the shade, along with the indoor temp and other info. Outside its in the 80s in the shade.

I`m holding my meat thermometer in the air while standing in my driveway. The camera focused on the background and not the gauge so that`s why its a bit blurry.

This pic is with the thermometer being held on a dry part of my trunk while the car is in the sun.

OK, here it is. This pic is with the thermometer probe in a little rain drop puddle on my trunk. I just let it sit there until it stabilized. BTW, that`s Z5FX x3 and Z2FX x 3 on that trunk. Applied approx 8 weeks ago. Z7 washed two days ago.
You decided whether the Zaino is holding up well to high heat and humidity.

Ed,
That one looks hard core. Is it the one with the multiple sensors, rain cup, weather vane, and the whole 9 yards?
Mine is the basic station with the single sensor. Got it for $50 at Costco (:D Steve!!). They were also selling the multi-sensor pro station for like $450-500.
One day I`ll go for the big kahuna but having this basic one is nice.

So Cal`s getting hit with a nice heat wave right now. Yesterday it was over 100 in the San Fernando Valley. This is why I`m moving to the beach. The temp readout in my car went from the high 80s at my house to over 100 in the valley to 75 in Santa Monica. Ahhh, I can`t wait. :up

I`m a long time reader, first time poster, and learning a lot. But I couldn`t pass up this one.
Here in Laredo, Tx we`re thinking about putting on coats. You see the highs down here this week have only been in the upper 90s. Normally by now we are knocking off 105 to 110 every day. The lows are generally over 75. Heck, the water in the pool runs about 90 by late July.
Its almost impossible to not get water spots because the cars dry almost instantly at that temp with the 20% humidity. But , with ya`alls help, I`m getting better at truly clean cars
