An urban heat island is an area which is warmer than surrounding areas due to human activity, specifically urbanized environments which retain and radiate heat.
Notes
- The value provided by the Urban Heat Island result type Overlay is not directly the actual temperature for a given location. Instead, it is an intermediate factor in the calculation of the physiological equivalent temperature.
