Weatherman says it's gonna be a scorcher today... 88F is predicted.

At 8:45am I noticed that the sun was shining on my front door, so I measured the temp from inside the living room... 109.4F. I had a solar panel heater radiating into my room!

I had a spare bamboo shade I had not yet hung up, so I put it in place.

Then I waited a half-hour and re-measured the door temp.

New temp = 88.0

A 21F temperature drop is much better!
