Hot Cars Kill: Summer Safety Tips

0:00On April 29th, think your quick stop at the store is no big deal on a warm day? Cars can turn into ovens faster than you think. On an 80 degree day, temps inside can jump to 120 degrees in under an hour, and even higher if it's hotter out. Here's the science behind it. Some might blast through the windows, heats up seats and dashboards, but that heat gets trapped like in a greenhouse. It bounces around with no escape, spiking fast to 140 or 150 degrees. Folks often forget kids or pets in the back, and even a short delay spells trouble. Grocery spoil, phones fry, and worst of all, heat kills quick, especially the little ones who can't speak up. Dark cars soak up more sun, while 10 blocks some raise. Clouds lower down, but humidity makes it feel brutal. Cracking a window? Barely helps, like peeking in a hot oven. So build habits like seat reminders or drive-thrues, but the real rules stay simple. Never leave a child or pet in a park car, period as summer.
