00:00Well it's exciting to be talking about the summer forecast all day here at the AccuWeather Network and AccuWeather.com.
00:10We've got many tools to be helpful to you during the summer.
00:14A lot of people are outside and of course that's the time of the year where you can be extra sensitive to and dangerous as it relates to heat risk.
00:21And I want to show you one of the great tools in the AccuWeather app.
00:24That's the AccuWeather exclusive real field temperature that can be a great tool to help you to best protect yourself as it relates to heat stress.
00:33This is a technology that people tell us that they love because the AccuWeather real field temperature enables them to optimize their health, safety and comfort.
00:41AccuWeather's real field temperature provides the best assessment of how the air feels because it's based upon more than 10 factors including the impact of sunshine intensity, moisture in the air, wind and precipitation.
00:52And it's especially relevant to staying safer in extreme heat because other weather sources provide only a feels like temperature or an apparent temperature which is an inadequate assessment of how the air feels since they do not include the most important factors that are included in AccuWeather's exclusive patented real field temperature.
01:12And you can access that on the AccuWeather app. We'll go to Dallas, Texas here. But you can go anywhere in the country or around the world.
01:18And notice when you tap on the hourly forecast, you're able to see the forecast hour by hour of the air temperature, but then the AccuWeather real field and the dashed line.
01:27And take a look at this on Thursday in Dallas at 2 p.m. We're talking about a 7 degree difference between the air temperature and the AccuWeather real field.
01:36Air temperature 84, AccuWeather real field 91. So it helps you to be best prepared for extreme heat.
