Today is 🌡️🔥
Extreme heat is no longer a future challenge.
It’s already affecting how we live, work, move, and build our cities.
Yet one of the biggest misconceptions about heat is that it affects everyone equally.

And during heatwaves, those few degrees can mean the difference between comfort and danger.
At FortyGuard, we’re working to make urban heat visible through high-resolution temperature intelligence, helping cities, organizations, and communities understand where heat risks exist and how to respond effectively.
This year’s is an opportunity to raise awareness, share knowledge, and encourage action toward cooler, healthier, and more resilient cities.
Because when it comes to heat:
The first step is understanding where it happens.
