    Open the furnace cabinet and see if there is a small black switch on top of the control box that says on/off. If there is, turn it to off and your problem will go away. The excessive heat outside is probably convecting down the flue pipe and heating the fan switch causing the fan to come on to cool off the htg chamber.
