Yeah, I read that too. 30C is 86 F. The OP above mentioned a 100 degree day, 14 degrees warmer, and the formula and paper I referenced above would put the surface temp of the road would also only rise 14 degrees, to 136 F on a 100 degree day.

The OP claimed 150-175 is common on a 100 degree day. No research I can find (except one single author) is anywhere near that amount.
