Is it reading too high because it is in the direct sunlight?

I would believe that would make a big difference in the reading. I don't think they get allot of sun in that part of the country, so they probably don't know.

It will be above 110 every day this week. Today is the official start of the monsoon, but it's usually July before we see any moisture.

What a coincidence. Our thermometers are reading 113 degrees too. Unfortunately they're not broke.
