Just did a live interview on BBC News (UK) about the #heatwave and the #urbanheatisland . We are going to need to adapt our cities to reduce the harmful effects of overheating due to #climatechange
Fraser Park Marrickville.
People are playing on this black park. Why is it black? Full of car tyre waste.

Monday night looks to be horrendous for those (most) of us without AC in London. It's likely to be 30°C (86°F) at 1 am Tuesday morning, with temperatures bottoming out at 27°C (81°F) by 5 am. Very little wind too. #londonheatwave #urbanheatisland
#WRIIndiaGeoAnalytics Heat stress in Mumbai is spatially segregated by income & housing types affecting mostly poor communities. This is also a sobering reminder that urban inequality makes the poorer communities more vulnerable to a #climatecrisis .

KIAL recorded 15°C
Kolar AWS recorded 13.8°C

Q. He et. al. propose and test a new model for the retrieval of #UrbanHeatIsland intensity which uses #GNSS -derived #ZTD (zenith #tropospheric delay) datasets and atmospheric information.

Tree coring at high speed 🤣 Sampling poplar in Bernheim Forest for #TreeRing research projects on #TreeClimateSensitivity across the Urban-Rural gradient vs. #UrbanHeatIsland , #LandUseHistory #ClimateChange and more. #Dendrochronology
The problem of #urbanheatisland effect & the urgent need to shade the tarmac in our streets.
Even with well established street trees, black roadway remains in full sun. Need to break dominance of the 🚗 & more trees into parking lane or centre of the street

On a hot day, lighter cool roofing can reduce indoor temperatures by up to 10°C and surface temperatures by 30°.
📸 today in Williams Landing, Vic.

#UrbanHeatIsland was at least 7C at 12PM last night in Budapest.
As I drove through the city, all downtown areas measured 25C, while in the suburb with lots of trees that cool through evapotranspiration it was 18C.
Trees with lots of foliage r our key outdoor AC devices.
Wonderful to see 2 of our University of Brighton #planning graduates Nicole Collomb & Nepo Schrade whose dissertations won & were commended in Royal Town Planning Institute Research Awards get an article with me in Town & Country Planning Association Journal about #greeninfrastructure #ClimateJustice #urbanheatisland South Coast Young Planners
1/3 of solar reflectors built out. 2/3 still to build in Californian summer trial. Many sensors still to install and calibrate. #MEER #MEER urban #Urbanheatisland #California
Tarmac is still - city-heating - tarmac, even if you cover it in colourful paint. #tacticalurbanism #depaving #greeninfrastructure #trees #streettrees #urbanheatisland
Public housing residents in Richmond get eviction notices if they have small swimming pools for their children. Another racist policy from RRHA that city government officials allow. #urbanheatisland #healthequity
Wir waren mit der Wärmecam am bisher heißesten Tag des Jahres unterwegs. In der #Alserstraße haben wir am Boden unfassbare 67 Grad gemessen. Die Stadt Wien muss Hitzeinseln wie diese dringend abkühlen z. B. mit mehr Bäumen & Beschattung. #hilfehitze #hitzeinsel #urbanheatisland
Nuevo documento del Tree & Design Action Group TDAG sobre los conceptos básicos de la isla de calor #UrbanHeatIsland en las ciudades y como una buena planificación del bosque urbano puede disminuir su efecto.
