You can see the same effect by lying a glass thermometer in full sun - it goes way above the quoted maximum for the day.

You may have a point there... It might have some relation to temperature, but it might also have some relation with UV radiation...
Personally, I actually noticed the opposite. When I'm reading outside (not only in the Netherlands, but also in Southern Spain), the contrast became higher than when reading inside. Not sure if it is because the "paper" looked whiter or the "ink" blacker...
