      It might be a fungus since they weren’t outside in the heat.

    It definitely doesn’t look like sun burn to me, usually sun burn is crispy and kinda light brown on a monstera. I agree with the other user that it’s likely fungus. If only a couple of leaves are affected, I would remove those by pruning with clean shears at the base and see how it goes. If you still see more spots popping up on other leaves, there are plenty of anti-fungal remedies you can buy or even make at home and apply like a spray or when you water, so it’s not too complicated of a fix!

    It’s sunburn. It can sunburn on the ride home. Vehicle windows act like magnifying glasses that intensify the light. Also, direct sunlight from a house window can cause the same damage. It’s irreversible. Those parts of the leaves will die off. Sheer curtains on a window will filter the intense light.
