The findings indicate a lack of UHI research studies in the central and eastern regions of the country, bringing out the need for further investigation in these areas. The observed UHI intensity varies across the country between 2 and 10 °C, with the northwest seeing a more pronounced ...
According toThe Weather Channel, Marquette gets hit with an average of204 inches of snowevery single year. Like much of Michigan, this has a lot to do withthe lake-effect. Thiseffect produces cooler tempsaround the Great Lakes and makes it easier for snow to be dumped in the area. Howeve...
Compound dry-hot extreme (CDHE) events pose greater risks to the environment, society, and human health than their univariate counterparts. Here, we project decadal-length changes in the frequency and duration of CDHE events for major U.S. cities during
Phoenix, Arizona, is also a city that experiences this effect. It's partially to blame for the triple-digit temperatures that have plagued the city every single day in July – a problem that's expected to persist through at least the end of the month. On Tuesday and Wednesday, theNational...
vegetation to help trap heat. And in Los Angeles, there's an experiment to cover streets with light-coloured material that reflects rather than absorbs the sun and so they remain cooler than typical black roads. But it's satellites in space that are really giving us the best picture of ...
Evidence suggests that homeowners value cooler temperatures and that local temperature differentials are capitalized into housing prices71. It is therefore unsurprising that people living below the poverty line have higher average temperature exposures than those at over two times above the poverty line ...
The weather service has since upgraded that alert to a heat warning, which is more serious, for Phoenix along with most of south-central Arizona. Meteorologists said temperatures could reach 112 degrees in the city this week. Temps are expected to rise to heat up headi...
generation10. Similarly, the cooling effect with RPVSPs in Los Angeles was found to be up to 0.2 °C (ref.11). Further, in Phoenix, Tucson and Arizona, RPVSPs lowered the 2 m air temperature compared with conventional roofs and resulted in 8–11% reduction in cooling energy ...
Arizona has less cloud cover than any other state. And Phoenix is the state’s second-sunniest city. More sunlight reaching the ground means more ozone. That could be why Phoenix moved up the list two spots from No. 7 last year. To clean things up, local leaders are working to curb th...
Using satellite data, Esri cartographers analyzed temperatures across neighborhoods in the city. When comparing the average temperatures of the HOLC-designated neighborhoods, the analysis shows that the grade "A" neighborhoods had cooler averages than the neighborhoods with B, C, and D grades. ...
