Episode Details

Texas is sweating under the heat — literally. The UIL, which oversees high school sports and marching bands, is now mandating schools to use the wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) to measure heat stress more accurately. This advanced metric factors in humidity, wind, and sun exposure to determine when outdoor activities become unsafe for students. Starting this Saturday, schools must monitor WBGT levels throughout the day, adjust practices, and have rapid cooling plans ready to prevent heat illness. Meanwhile, a Texas underwear brand added humor to the equation with its “Scale of Sultry,” rating backside sweatiness from one to ten — proving that no matter how you measure it, Texas summers are no joke.
