Walking in Albuquerque
In Albuquerque, summer pavement is the problem: asphalt in full sun runs 40°F or more above the air and can burn paws by mid-morning. From May to September, walk early or after sunset and test the ground with the back of your hand.
How the score works
We start at 100 and take points off for heat, cold, rain, wind and strong UV. Big dogs lose more points in the heat, small dogs in the cold. Pavement temperature is our estimate from air temperature, sunshine and cloud. The seven-second test: if you cannot hold the back of your hand on the pavement for seven seconds, it is too hot for paws.
