The NFL season continues today with 12 outdoor games. Six of those games will have a Heat Index of more than 80°.
The sweatiest place will be in Landover, Maryland where Washington will host Dallas. The Heat Index of 88° will keep fans melting into their seats. Foxboro and Los Angeles won’t be much better at 87°
The Heat Index is the temperature felt by the skin rather than the actual temperature due to the humidity level. When its hot outside humans sweat a lot and heat is removed via evaporation of sweat. But when its humid the evaporation rate slows down because of all the water already in the air. That’s when the affliction known as swampbutt occurs. And that’s where materials that can wick sweat away from the body can help.
Please note that games in domes are not listed. The Chicago-Philadelphia game in Monday night.
