SA's extremely hot sunlight
I had noticed that when you stand in the sun, if feels like if you are getting cook.
Today the around 7:00pm, most of my backyard was already shaded as I was working on the yard.
when suddenly I felt hot on my side and I noticed that it was the sunlight reflecting on the window of my neighbor's house that was about 50-70ft away from me.
I was absolutely amazed about how hot the sunlight felt even as I was standing in the shade and I was feeling only the reflected sunlight.

Welcome to Texas. It's hot here. From about February 3rd until December 17th. Very hot about half that time. Extremely hot about 2 months of that time. It's how we roll.

I think Sapphire has the dates wrong. It's not that bad. March 1 to about November 30 is more realistic. It's hot those months and the sun is way too intense. The other months it's just hot, but you need a sweater for those days it's in the 70's. I thought it was strange to have to buy a Christmas tree in a tent. Then I felt the heat and realized that a cut tree in the sun will wilt and be a twig by December 15.

My response was a little more intelligent than stating that it's hot in the sun. At least acknowledge that. |

Since you are so smart...
why don't you go ahead and explain why most of the time when the sunlight is reflected is not hot
but today I was standing in the shade and as soon as I walked in front of the reflected sunlight from my neighbor's window (50ft away) it felt hot, very similar to the change in temperature when you open an oven. |

IF you ever have been through a south Texas summer you'd know why and my first response was on par with your question...  |
