I looked back 5 pages, and found zip on the subject of elevated temperatures. So here goes-
Using my non-contact thermometer, I decided to “ping” a few surfaces in the back forty.
Note: It’s 1:30PM on 04JULY, so it’s about as intense sun as it gets here. (You should be able to see where I am.)
I can only post 1 pic per post, so please bear with me.

The top of the ground does get hot. But we had a dog when I was growing up that would dig a hole to lay down in. I asked my dad why and he said the dirt in that hole was a lot cooler and it cooled them off to lay in it. You may have seen off the grid homes that are heated and cooled by underground ducts pulling hot and cold air through a tunnel that stays the same temperature year round. The dogs naturally know about this and dig the holes to stay cool.
I'm not saying to leave the dogs out there, but they do know how to take care of themselves.
