now lets measure the black roofs. Whole suburbs jump 10 odd degrees where the roofs are black and houses are jammed in so tight that there's no room for trees
No black rooves in the vicinity, but I measured the green grass vs. brown grass in the same spot: a difference of 10–15 °C. And in general, darker areas are hotter.
Lets build new suburbs with no trees full of twisting streets far away from public transport and McMansions with black tile roofs and cool it all down with air conditioning. This is the exact opposite of what Australians should be doing.
Forgot I put a thermometer in the roof space. Just checked and it capped out at 36.8° when it was 40.5° outside. I stand by my choice on having a white roof with an r1.8 roof blanket.

We don't need no water, let the mutha fucka burn.
That's enough for spontaneous combustion.
Or for cooking an egg.
Why are there two temperatures?
The smaller reading above is the ambient temperature.

On the roof, it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother me
Let me tell you now
Is that humidity and dew point too? What thermometer?
Yes and yes. It's a MESTEK IR02C.
Monument folks be trembling !
