While standard weather apps only measure air temperature, NorthPaw calculates real-time ground thermodynamics—estimating actual surface heat for Asphalt, Concrete, and Artificial Turf based on solar radiation, wind, humidity, and cloud cover.

Key Features:

• Thermodynamic Pavement Index (NPI): See real-time surface temperatures before stepping outside.
• Artificial Turf Warnings: Artificial grass has no evaporative cooling and can reach 140°F+ even on mild 85°F days. NorthPaw flags hidden turf hazards instantly.
• Breed & Biology Adjustments: Calibrated for your dog’s specific snout profile (brachycephalic/flat vs. long), body weight, and coat type.
• 24-Hour Walk Window Planner: Find the safest hours for your morning or evening outings.
• 100% Free & Ad-Free: Built as a public safety utility with zero ads, zero subscriptions, and no data tracking.

Keep your dog safe, comfortable, and happy on every walk.
