The National Weather Service office in Kansas City recently experimented to test the best color clothing to wear when it's hot. As the sun beat down, science worked its magic.
NWS Kansas City ran a study on the best clothing color for hot weather.
"Just look at how the numbers are so much warmer than the rest of the light grey jersey," the NWS said. "Darker colored clothing absorbs a lot more heat." The test conducted by the agency revealed the importance of wearing light-colored clothing and staying indoors to overcome extreme heat. "Clearly the darker colored shirts got a lot warmer in the afternoon sun," they said. "So if you're headed out this week, wear light and loose fitting clothing."The test conducted by the agency revealed the importance of wearing light-colored clothing and staying indoors to overcome extreme heat.
