How are surface temps estimated? Asphalt absorbs roughly 85–93% of incoming solar radiation and can reach 40–60 °F above air temperature in direct midday sun. Concrete has higher reflectivity and typically stays 15–30 °F above air temp. These estimates assume direct sun at peak hours — shaded pavement, cloud cover, and wind will lower surface temps significantly. If the air has been ≥ 85 °F within the past 2 hours, pavement retains residual heat and may still be too hot for paws even if the air has cooled.
Surface estimates based on JAMA pavement burn research, Frostburg University measurements & FHWA studies.
