heat

If after running the engine and then turning it off,hat may stratify under the hood,exposing that region which contains the fresh air ductwork to this heat"flux" and raising temps of fresh air once you drive off again.------- After a period,the cooler incoming air should carry off this heat( unfortunately onto you).then settle out at a discharge temp closer to outside ambient temp.--- If you can take the heat for awhile it will go away.
