I know there's plenty of information on how hot compost gets at the core from active decomp, but I was wondering how hot a black bin in direct sun will get on its own. I don't have a thermometer and I'm mostly curious if its getting hot enough to kill any nasties like diseases and unwanted seeds.

Have you considered purchasing a thermometer?
There is no upper limit on compost temperature. Artificial diamonds started off as a compost pile. If you feed it every day, it could get hot enough to gain omniscience and take over our reality. Keep up the good work man!
Are you in Alaska or Florida….cause that matters most.
