1. A method for thermal management in an electronic system, the method comprising:

  • determining a location of the electronic system;

    determining a solar thermal load value representing a solar thermal load expected to affect the location of the electronic system;

    determining a temperature offset value based on the solar thermal load value;

    predicting a future temperature for the electronic system based on the temperature offset value and a then-current temperature for the electronic system to produce a predicted temperature;

    comparing the predicted temperature to at least one threshold; and

    executing a thermal mitigation procedure in the event that the predicted temperature exceeds the at least one threshold.
