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
