Very hot days and heatwaves
Which mode to pick, when to walk, and how to read shade on the map.
Prefer Heat Smart on hot afternoons when you want more shade in the route choice.
Plan earlier or later walks when you can. Midday sun can overwhelm even a shady street.
Carry water. Drinking water layers show public taps when we have them, but never rely on a single point.
If you feel too hot, shorten the walk, rest, or use transit. The map suggests paths; it does not override your safety.
