Do radiators cool at a predictable rate with variations in ambient temp?

For instance in Alaska its 60F in Cali its 110F would it look like this: Alaska the water temp is 64F in California its 114F

Or would it be more random based on the ability of the equipment in a specific range of heat: Alaska the water temp is 61F in California its 122F

This is probably a gross simplification but I would suspect it would be closer to the latter. If this is the case it would be a requirement to chill the water with something and keep the system as isolated as possible to negate properties of lower and higher environment temps.
