Are we really a nation of idiots or is just the reporters? Soccer-Forecast says 90, pavement says 120: Dallas’s World Cup heat trap | 1330 & 101.5 WHBL
“While weather apps tell visitors the temperature is a manageable 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius), the pavement under their feet will likely be closer to a blistering 122 F (50 C).
That gap between the forecast and the furnace is the danger lurking on the walk to the stadium as fans trek from distant parking lots, train stations and sun-baked plazas.
Every step across asphalt, past metal security gates and through unshaded fan zones means crossing an invisible “heat trap” the weather apps don’t warn about.”
