Nissan develops paint that keeps cars cool in summer heat (www.asahi.com)

Nissan Motor Co. said it has developed a new type of paint that significantly reduces the temperature inside vehicles parked in direct sunlight.

The surface of a car coated with the innovative material remains up to 12 degrees cooler than that of a vehicle with standard paint, tests showed.

The company said the coating material can help rein in the temperature rise not only on the car's body but also in the vehicle when exposed to direct sunlight.

Got in my car after work yesterday and it was 102F inside. It was awful

Lucky! I've seen 150 here in Louisiana.

And even higher when I lived in the Mojave desert. Like, if you didn't leave a window cracked there's a real chance your windshield cracks.

Must have had you wishing for a nuclear winter.

I live in Pa, so our weather isn't crazy hot like the south. I can't imagine the weather where you've lived. 85F is my upper limit. Anything over makes me feel like I'm going to die.

I was working outside in 96F and nearly 50% humidity within the past week.

If we continue trying to work outside during the middle of the summer day, as our summers get hotter every year, people are going to start to die.

I wonder how many it will take for America to adjust. I assume a lot more than I'm comfortable with.

I was outside in 96F yesterday herding my ducks for 10 mins and my whole night was ruined because I got so sick from the heat.

Idk how people who work outside constantly do it
