Here's a rule of thumb: If you put your hand down on pavement and take it off within 5 seconds because your hand gets too hot, then it's also too hot for pet paws.

Philadelphia set a record high on Monday as temperatures hit a scorching 96 degrees, and the heatwave isn't overt yet.On hot days like these, there is a big difference between the air temperature and the ground temperature.

FOX 29's Weather Authority took a temperature gun out on a day in the 90s to see just how much warmer the pavement gets.

Black pavement was even more astounding, coming in over 40 degrees warmer than the actual temperature.Latest News
