ROCHESTER, N.Y. – News10NBC’s Tom Kowalski explored the dangers of extreme heat as temperatures soared to 93 degrees this week. Using a heat thermometer gun, Kowalski measured the parking lot temperature at 145 degrees on East Avenue.
Kowalski attempted to cook eggs and cookies using the heat.
“Right here. Seems as spot a good as any…Out here, the temperature is about 140°F…You think it’ll work?” he asked.
“Yeah, I would say give it time,” a stranger said. Others, including Nikki Rudd and a firefighter, expressed mixed opinions on the experiment’s success.
While the eggs didn’t fully cook, the cookies turned soft and chewy. The dashboard temperature read 135 degrees.
While the temperatures may not be hot enough to cook an egg on the sidewalk or bake a sheet of cookies in the car, it’s certainly enough to do some damage or even kill things like pets and kids that you leave in a car.
According to the New York State Department, multiple deaths occur each year from pets and children being left in hot cars.
Kowalski emphasized the seriousness of heat-related illnesses, urging vigilance for symptoms of heat stroke and exhaustion.
