Episode 7: Home-field Advantage

July 04, 2016

This week's episode of WeatherHype is all about weather and sports. We discuss a metric used for describing extreme heat and sports, called wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT). Then we move on to discussing altitude, baseball, and climbing. We then discuss the 2013 U.S. men's soccer game against Costa Rica that involved an intense snow storm, followed by a discussion on the effects of cold/wind chill on dexterity. We finish up with some personal stories, and our song of the week! For links to items discussed during this podcast, please visit http://www.weatherhypepodcast.com/episode-7.html
