It doesn't seem to make sense -- how can it be hotter in an enclosed area blocking sunlight that it is outside?

The attic traps heat inside. Heat energy from sunlight and from your house enters the attic through radiation and conduction, but it has a hard time getting out. The same thing happens when you leave your car in the sun on a hot day.

The insolation traps in the heat in that little space and not much breeze gets blown into the attic

Your roof is insulated on the inside surface. All the heat energy generated inside your house heats the air and it rises and is trapped in the attic!
