#Heat risk is hyper-local. Clouds, wind, and surface types—like grass or concrete—can quickly shift how heat is felt over short distances.

Klimo Insights uses satellites, land data, and weather models, among other inputs, to generate #WBGT estimates that reflect real-world conditions where you are.

You can also instantly get hyper local #WBGT data for your location from @klimoinsights.com's newly released app: wbgt.klimoinsights.com
