People are playing on this black park. Why is it black? Full of car tyre waste.

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
#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 .

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
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
#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.
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

🔔 New article:
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.

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
On a hot day, lighter cool roofing can reduce indoor temperatures by up to 10°C and surface temperatures by 30°.

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
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
