Surface temperatures run far above the air reading, day after day, for months. Los Angeles County is no different.

That is as true in San Fernando as anywhere in Los Angeles County. We check ventilation on every San Fernando work, because a roof covering that cannot breathe will not reach its rated working life.
As a rule, afternoon sun on a west-facing San Fernando slope ages that side years ahead of the rest of the roof. This holds across Los Angeles County. Low-slope sections in San Fernando hold heat worst, which is why coatings and reflective membranes pay for themselves here. Realistically, tile underlayment in San Fernando dries out and goes brittle while the tile above it still looks new from the street. That is as true in San Fernando as anywhere in Los Angeles County.
