To ensure equine health and safety, the Maryland Jockey Club (MJC) now uses the WetBulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) measurement to determine when summer heat becomes dangerous. This advanced protocol considers temperature, humidity, wind speed, sun angle, and cloud cover, providing a more accurate assessment of heat stress than the traditional heat index.
