YES! Cavies (Guinea Pigs) are at risk to heat related illness and heatstroke like problems like many other small animals and need to be protected from direct sunlight.
Generally, what is comfy for you is comfy for your Guinea Pig, but direct sunlight is harder for them to deal with.
(From GuineaPigCages.com
The room should have a stable temperature range of 65 to 75 degrees F (18 to 24 degrees C). 85 degrees and over and your guinea pig is likely to die from heat stroke. 85 plus degrees is typical in garages in the summertime. If you are comfortable, your guinea pig will be comfortable. If it's too hot or cold for you, it's too hot or cold for them.
