Heat costs working hours and pay, and the rules are getting stricter. Plan around it with data for your own site.
The ILO projects that heat stress will cost 2.2 % of working hours worldwide by 2030. In Singapore, one hot day already costs about EUR 15 (S$21) per worker, about 24 % of median daily pay (NUS, 2024).
infrared.city gives you felt heat for your site or route, street by street and hour by hour. As a live layer it keeps updating with the forecast. Test later start times, more shade or new rest areas, and see the effect on the map.
