I could feel the heat coming off it when I stood next to the repaved section. They didn't repave the parking area at the edge. Opened to traffic again, seems firm enough to drive on at 160⁰F.

Geez I hope they put up no pet signs. Would hate for someone to let their dog walk on this.

Since summer is coming in many parts of the world, I'll include a psa about asphalt temps being well above air temps. Good chance if you are enough of a nerd to be on Lemmy you have a laser thermo probe somewhere. Consider bringing on your walk and checking some pavement temps. Avoid walking dog if >115f 46C

    I have run my dog on pavement when it's in the 90s, and in full sun at midday, and myself went barefoot too, and it's bearable if you keep moving. Dog pads are even tougher, but obviously 90s are different from the hundred and teens it's never been that hot here. It's rare for it to get to 100 in any year here.
