Africa?
Central America?
Yet these places do have radio, television, and cell phones. And had consumer electronics decades ago when I lived there.

I know that but the OP was talking about using these devices OUTSIDE in DIRECT SUNLIGHT.
Even without a/c most radios and televisions will not be subjected to the direct sun. So they won't get the extreme heat only the ambient heat.
So you are telling me that I could take my cell phone outside tomorrow in the direct sunlight and leave it on for an hour and nothing will happen to it.
It will only be 100 here tomorrow.
And just for your information my house inside was 90 degrees when my a/c went out.. All my electronic stuff is fine but I dang sure didn't put them in the sun.
Though I did leave the tv off because I didn't want anymore heat in the house.
I was going to say something about central America but then I realized I was too far north. I was thinking of the equator.
