Is there any record of the lunar surface temperatures that were experienced during the various Apollo landing missions? What was the coolest, and hottest, temperatures encountered?

The Apollo Lunar Surface Journal records that at the start of EVA 3 on Apollo 16, the surface temperature was 185 degrees Fahrenheit, with a sun angle of 45 degrees.
