My engine is always close to 210 even when outside temp is around 80 degree.

122 is hot. Doesn't matter if it is dry heat or humid. It's just plain hot. Turning on a fan is similar to the effect of a convection oven. Same principle. Son lives in Lake Havasu City, AZ. They had 126 this Summer. House and car AC's just about ineffective. They turn the H20 heater off as the cold water from the tap is shower temp. If you go to hell and screw up you get sent to Havasu for the Summer.

Indio is one of the hottest places in the country, at times.

Is that while moving? Love that fan noise?

Yep that was driving around. You can't even put your hand on the glass in your truck as you drive around. Forget about leaving a video, or CD in your truck too long, they turn to liquid. Some local video stores have warning signs DO NOT leave your video in your car, and they have some returns on display, that look like a Salvador Dali painting.
Forget about putting a wrench down, you will not be able to pick it back up.
You can't even change your oil, because the driveway is like laying on hot coals.
You can work on your stuff from 5am till 9am, then again from 7pm, - 9pm.
