Some common Rate-of-Rise hear detectors require a 15ºF rise per minute
before they will respond.  I doubt you'll encounter such a rapid rise in a
non-fire situation.  However, as you correctly mention, summer attic
temperatures in excess of 135ºF are common even in the northern parts of the
continental US.
