I am a former forest fire fighter, but I have to admit that I don't know 
the answer to your question.  I would think that in places like southern 
Arizona it would get hotter at ground level since that is where most of the 
fuel is.  I fought fire in northern Idaho and it would get hot in the 
canopy of the trees where  the majority of the fuel is.
