Cities typically exhibit higher air temperatures than their rural surroundings, a phenomenon
known as the urban heat island (UHI) effect. Contrasting results are reported as to whether …

A heatwave (HW) is a large-scale meteorological event characterised by persistent and
extremely high-temperature condition. At the local scale, the urban heat island (UHI) is …

Urban heat island intensity (UHI) has become a cross-cutting quotient to characterize the
thermal environment of urban areas. In this study, we use publicly available weather data …

Urban heat exposures have increased considerably in cities around the globe due to rapid
urbanization and the changing climate. This study explores the spatiotemporal variations in …

A suitable thermal environment is important for the economy, society and public health in
urban areas. However, the understanding of the relationship between the urban heat island …

Urban heat island (UHI), the phenomenon that urban areas experience higher temperatures
compared to their surrounding rural areas, has significant socioeconomic and environmental …

Due to rapid economic development, China has experienced one of the greatest rates of
change in land use/land cover during the last two decades. This change is mainly urban …

Urban heat islands (UHIs) have very large negative effects on local climate features and
ecological environments. However, the larger-scale temporal and spatial patterns of UHIs …

Abstract The Urban Heat Island (UHI), the tendency for urban areas to be hotter than rural
regions, represents a significant health concern in summer as urban populations are …

Motivated by the international tendency to improve the urban microclimate, minimize
building energy consumption and improve air quality, this paper carries out a literature …
