💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🌵🔥 #Phoenix sidewalks can hit 66º C (~150° F) in direct #sun while shade stays below 38º C (~100° F) – a real problem for anyone walking to class.

#ASU researchers and #students built Cool Routes, an online #map that calculates sun exposure to suggest less-sweaty paths across campus. In tests the tool found cooler routes over 70% of the time, and the team is now building a mobile version through an undergraduate #thesis.
