Thermometer said 106 yesterday when I got in after work. Didn't get a pic. I'm sure it'll be hotter today though.

confusing thread title, you want the inside or outside temp? The sunshades and cracked windows won't help your outside temp (which is what your pic shows)

supposed to hit 105 here in NC this weekend, ouch!

Only the same after the vehicle is in motion with good airflow over the sensor.

As anybody who has ever walked barefoot on blacktop on a hot summer day can attest, the temperature of pavement will get much hotter than the ambient temperature on a sunny day. Since the temperature sensor is less than a foot from the pavement at the front of the car, you can expect an elevated reading when the car is motionless over hot blacktop.
