Default Infrared temp shows 180 to 236 F temps on outside of head

Vehicle: 1994, Accord Ex, VTEC, AT

I just used an infrared heat temp gun aimed around the external parts of the head area just below the valve cover. I got 165-175F on the intake side of the head. When I aimed the temp gun at the exhaust side of the head, I got 180-235, especially in the center above the exhaust manifold cover, but it was cooler near the ends, where I was getting results much closer to the intake temps.

Does the 180-230 F external head temp seem normal ?
