That's HOT! I had a bad experience with my philodendron when I left it
on a sundeck one hot summer day. The temperature on the sundeck was probably
close to 100 and all the leaves directly facing the sun turned brown and
looked quite horrible. Direct sunlight + H2O = blue-green algae mass.
How about covering the water with aluminum foil?
