Recommendation
Driving is fine with normal precautions; prefer early morning 7:00-10:00 AM (79-86F) and later evening 9:00-11:00 PM (88-93F). Avoid non-essential trips 1:00-7:00 PM when temperatures peak at 98-103F. Check coolant, tire pressure and battery before longer trips, carry drinking water, never leave children or pets in a parked car, and run A/C.
