If you've ever been to the tropics, this is similar to just standing under the shade. In the middle of the day, it can feel _brutally_ hot to walk around outside, but stand in the shade, and it can be totally comfortable. Exact same air temperature. A lot of the heat you feel outside during the day is from radiation, not air temperature.
In Texas, when you stand under a tree for shade, the tree just looks at you and says "what, you think it's any cooler over here?". Then, it just gives you that face your mom would give you when you've clearly done something foolish.
