It has really warmed up where I'm at, 100 plus. I recently locked my helmet in my topcase in the shade, but of course the sun moved and really heated up the topcase. My helmet's camera mount is held on by 3M double side sticky pads, the type of stuff that holds the emblems on your car. Usually it's very tough but it softened, almost liquefied, in the heat. My camera and mount fell off! Luckily I had the safety lanyard attached directly to the helmet and not to the mount.
I've since re-evaluated what I will and won't leave in the topcase. One thing that worries me are the CO2 cartridges in my tire repair kit. Like my helmet, they now go inside with me when parked.
