Get Social: Staying cool in #SummerHeat, celebrating #UWWomen150

The temperatures in Madison are climbing (as is the humidity) — and Badgers keep their cool by venting on social media.

In this week’s Get Social, read about the heat wave, and about an event honoring 150 years of women graduates from UW–Madison.

After finishing your campus tour here at UW Madison grab some ice cream at the Daily Scoop! Made fresh from local UW Madison cows!

(1/2) Cities suffer the most during heat waves: Using a network of 150 temp sensors in the Madison WI area we showed that during an early July 2012 heat wave, downtown Madison had average daily nighttime lows that were up to 11ºF higher than rural agricultural areas @NWSMKX

(2/2) During that stretch of July 4-7 2012, average nighttime lows over the Isthmus region of Madison hovered in the low to mid 80s for 4 straight nights, but were in the mid 70s in rural regions @NWSMKX https://t.co/RLPWZ8BW7a pic.twitter.com/ATHYyG0DVJ
