heat stroke. Strangely, following this news item was a TV programme about the RSPCA (Animal welfare) where the officers found a dog dead in a car. The owners were at a Country event, where dogs were not allowed, and had left their dog in the car in 85 degree temperatures and baking sunshine.
A few points to remember...
It is ALWAYS far, far hotter inside a car than it is outside.
