In just 20 minutes, a car parked outdoors can see its interior temperature rise to over 48 deg C.
That is why medical experts are warning against leaving anyone in a car parked outdoors, saying such extreme temperatures can cause serious medical issues, including heatstroke. The body generally works best within the narrow 36-37.5 deg C range.
