 California Dreamin'
The pollution layer of Southern California not only produces a heat dome rather similar to that of  Mexico City and Tokyo, it also refracts or bends the sunlight before the rays reach one's pores, thus hitting the surface of the Earth in oblique fashion.
Hence, California heat is very oven-like where in 105-degree weather, one feels little or no difference in temperature while in the shade or sunlight.
In Oregon or Washington, however, there is an immense difference in temperature reading between shade and sunlight, as much as 10 to 15 degrees, depending on the season, on the time of day, or on any possible wind chill factor.
