Well 106 degrees is only the reported temp, not the real temp on the ground. Radiate heat off sand, rock, asphalt can easily top 130+ degrees. Last summer when it was 110* by weather centers, I aimed an IR temp gauge at the ground in the parking lot I was standing in and it read 156 degrees! Since then I carry a temp gauge on my backpack and earlier this week I went on a desert geocache, obstacle course type run and that gauge read 135 degrees at its highest recording. I whipped out my iPhone to take a picture but the phone was too hot and shut down. Finally at 130 degrees it came up for a second and i could snap that.
