MINNEAPOLIS — Extreme heat is not only dangerous, it can also be fatal. That’s why scientists need your help this summer.
Hennepin and Ramsey counties are participating in the Urban Heat Island Mapping Campaign.
Volunteers mount heat sensors on their cars and then drive planned routes to collect temperature and humidity data.
The mapping project is scheduled for the last Saturday of July. Volunteers receive a $25 debit card for their help.
WCCO examined urban heat islands in an edition of Good Question last year.
