"...the average rise in one hour is 22°C..." "...Previous research has shown that when ambient temperatures rise above 35°C, sealed cars reach a suffocating 65°C in just 15 minutes..." "On 16 cloud-free days in Northern California, the team measured a car's inside temperature at 5 minute intervals for one hour post-parking. Ambient temperatures on the study days ranged from 22°C to 35°C. They found that, regardless of outside air temperature, the car heated up at a similar rate, gaining 80% of its final temperature within 30 minutes. Cars that started out comfortable 22°C, for example, rocketed to over 47°C after 60 minutes in the sun And keeping the windows open a crack hardly slowed the rise at all..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Ya we'll rape the local objects, and maybe do some jumps too!"
