Temperatures can go surprisingly high in a car parked in the sun. A study by Dr. J. S. Surpure of Oklahoma Children's Memorial Hospital, Oklahoma City, found the interior temperature reaching 111.2 F in the shade, 172.4 F in the sun! Such temperatures can mean potentially hazardous stress for pets, children, and older people left sitting in a car under such conditions. If possible, park in the shade. Leave both doors open for ventilation; open windows may not be enough.
