Nearly a dozen teams drove around different neighborhoods of Philadelphia on Saturday. They weren't in a race. They were driving for science.
One sensor, clipped onto the passenger side window, measured temperature and humidity. The other sensor measured air quality.
These teams hit the road three times on Saturday: at sunrise, in the afternoon as we got our high temperature for the day, and close to sunset. There are neighborhoods like Hunting Park where many blocks lack trees and natural shade. Instead, it's lots of concrete and pavement, which really hold onto heat. As a result, these neighborhoods end up being the hottest areas of Philadelphia.
