That’s new and a bit unsettling.
@paul I think that's a little silly, tbh. Maybe show that if you selected cycling or walking directions. But for most people, that's pretty useless info when driving. Also: it's gonna be 100+ (feels like) for the next 3 months here, so the warning will simply become ignorable noise.
@leoncowle @paul I think having an excessive heat warning in Texas, no matter what, is rather important. You might feel its superfluous but on the contrary, I think it’s a stark reminder of how much hotter the earth is becoming.
@Zaczapico97 @paul Except if it’s shown everyday for several months in a row, and on top of that in a place where it’s mostly not particularly useful. Then it loses its impact and just becomes noise that gets ignored. Boy that cried wolf & all (which, yes, is an imperfect analogy).
@Zaczapico97 @paul Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying heat warnings are a waste of time. And raising public awareness isn’t either. Those are definitely important. But when you start shoving these in places where they don’t really contribute directly waters their effect down. Which is exactly the opposite of what needs to happen.
