Pavement wall to wall.

Go under a tree....on grass....and a light breeze...and it's 20 degrees cooler.

And is this 124 degree "indexed"...

Air temperature is defined as not being in shade or under cover. There is a reason air temp ,pressure ,humidity is measured on airport’s first is critical to flight mass and lift calculations and second the airport is a wide open space with no trees nor cover to mess up the air readings. The NWS sensor stack is always away from black top and concrete over grass and away from buildings that could block airflow or radiate heat. Accurate real air temp , humidity and pressure are absolutely critical to flight OPS. One wrong calculation and people die when the plane is over mass for the indicated air density conditions. Everything is not a conspiracy airport data has been the official weather data for a region for nearly 100 years precisely because of the critical need for actuate data for aircraft OPS.
