And those facing east cannot eat lunch. Unless the lanai is enclosed if it feels like 100 degrees outside it will feel like 100 degrees in the lanai and it doesn't matter which way it faces. Yes sun will definitely make them hotter some in the first half of the day others in the last half. The cure is double pane enclosure, tinted glass or shades along with AC then use it any time of the day no matter which way it faces.
