I'm not "shouting" at all, because this is the INTERNET, so technically impossible!;)
Also my question was why there was a "in the shade" in the partial
sentence.

When someone refers to a high temperature in the shade, the implication is that it's even hotter in the sun.
Typing in all caps is considered the internet equivalent of shouting -- that is, its effect on the reader is similar to the effect of shouting on the listener.

so I could say that "in the shade" is an expression for talk about the temperatures in general? Or it only refers to high temperature?
