+100F in Sun isn't at all uncommon during a hot summer in the upper Midwest if the object is dark. Air temperatures of over 100 are a semi-annual occurrence, typically around August, so a dark object (such as a roof or blacktop) pushing 120 wouldn't be a surprise at all. Still not as bad as AZ, but it's not that much different.
We aren't even close to a desert or space either- forests, plains, lakes and rivers abound.
- GavinMcG 5y agoIt was 102° F in St. Louis today. Not hard to imagine 20° hotter on some roofs.
- failwhaleshark 5y ago122+ F ambient on concrete.. it's going to be much hotter than that.
