I assume your outside thermometer measures the temperature in "the shade" as is common practice. The temperature of metal or stone surfaces in direct sunlight can be much higher than the ambient air temperature. Think about parts of your house that could have been in direct sunlight. The roof, as Chad mentioned, the aluminum siding, and if you have it, the top part of the concrete foundation. So, the parts of your house in direct sunlight were heated above ambient air temperature. Heat flows from higher temperature matter to lower temperature matter. But it can take time. So, heat from the hot parts of your house flowed through the wood and air of your walls and slowly heated up the inside air. -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.net/ _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
