If its unheated and vented, then underventing, lack of insulation, or
warm air infiltration is making the attic to warm. The attic should be
near outside temp. Insulating to code is only a minimum requirement,
it is completely outdated. Sealing air leaks can be hard, is there a
full vapor barrier. Condensation leads to mold then rot, then a big
repair bill.
