I got an issue with my fans going full on crazy when the notebook sits in direct sunlight. Sure that heats it a little from the outside but my old 2010 never had the problem and stayed silent when using it even in intense summer heat.

The same load of just coding so basically idle leads to this full fan speed phaenomenon. I am not sure if it was always like this but it is annoying. Once it even went so far as to throttle the cpu down to 800Mhz today.
I installed istat menus to check sensory data. This is what it looks like.
After 5 min indoors in the shade on the left.
Outdoors after 5-10 min same almost idle load, on the right.

Any ideas how to teach my notebook some sanity.
