As far as weather apps go, few are considered quite as reliable and informative as Carrot Weather, with this reputation set to be strengthened further with the introduction of the latest and greatest version of the app which is capable of warning users about the risk of fatality caused by extreme heat.
The updated version of the app makes use of wet bulb temperature measures, which offer heightened accuracy due to their ability to consider a range of metrics that include temperature, humidity, heat radiation and even mind. Using this technology, the Carrot Weather app is capable of showing wet bulb temperature readings for your location and issuing warnings when the heat risk is extreme and possibly fatal.
With climate change and rising temperatures in cities and locales around the world, there is an ever-increasing threat of lethal heat exposure in places that may not be accustomed to high temperatures, creating an enhanced need for weather apps like Carrot Weather.
