Chrome is notoriously resource intensive. Maybe give Chromium or Firefox
a try.

But based on that answer I'm leaning towards a fan failure first. As you
said you are currently in Miami, so when you get back definitely check that.

Could also be simple dust accumulation, something a can of air can fix.
That is something that is obvious to see when you look.

There are a few other possible things to check, but lets rule out the
simple stuff first before we dive deeper.
