A Styrofoam cup instantly melts when it goes near a campfire. If there is water in that same cup, the water basically has to evaporate out of the cup before the cup can melt.

Anything below the surface can't. Sunlight and lack of a cooling factor from a breeze can allow the very top to exceed the actual air temperature, but it's not a true measurement of water temperature. They do that on purpose, as I'm sure you know.
