The temperature inside the car rises even during the relatively pleasant autumn season
Experimental results show that the temperature inside a car can rise up to 50 degrees Celsius even in this relatively pleasant autumn season.
In October 2006, JAF (Japan Automobile Federation) conducted an experiment to see how much the temperature inside a car parked in a parking lot in Saitama Prefecture rose.
The experiment was conducted under the condition that the windows and doors of the car were closed and there was nothing to block the sunlight hitting the car, such as the roof of the house.
At 10:00 am, the temperature was 22.7°C, humidity was 55%, the sun was shining through the clouds, and the temperature inside the car was 37.5°C.
At 1:00 pm, when the blue sky began to spread, the temperature rose to 26.8 degrees, humidity to 44%, and the temperature inside the car rose to 47.9 degrees.
During the same period of time, in order to investigate the temperature rise in the car immediately after using the air conditioner, we also conducted an experiment in which the temperature was set to about 25 degrees with the air conditioner, and then the car was left with the engine turned off and closed.
In this experiment, the temperature inside the car rose to 51.3 degrees after about an hour, and it was found that even if the air conditioner was used just before, the temperature inside the car would rise without change.
From these experiments, JAF calls attention not to leave children even for a few minutes, as it is quite dangerous to leave children in the car even during relatively comfortable times.
