One word, before you clip the leash.

PawWeather in Seattle, Washington: a green GO panel reading cool and comfortable, paws OK and heat OK, air 62 degrees, estimated asphalt 65 degrees, and an hour-by-hour bar for the next 18 hours.
GO — pavement and heat both check out.
PawWeather in Phoenix, Arizona: a red DANGER panel reading heat index 94 degrees, high heatstroke risk, with paws marked OK and heat marked DANGER, and a red hour-by-hour bar.
DANGER — and it names which risk tripped it.

Asphalt runs hotter than the forecast.

Clear sky, the day’s hottest hour, from PawWeather’s own engine — stored heat included, the way the app does. Asphalt hits 125°F on a 76°F day. Concrete runs 14–25°F cooler — often that is the whole answer.
