Temperature maps of the difference between long-term mean monthly temperature and recent monthly means of summertime temperature trends in California Central Valley (CCV) Cites of San Jose, Modesto and Sacramento showed a statistically significant increase of 0.65, 0.46, and 0.49 oF per decade, ...
I did, however, investigate one other interesting aspect of urban heat islands that I will briefly discuss before concluding, and that’s how much of the UHI signature is caused by the presence of an urban area and how much by conditions in the vicinity of the station. I evaluated this by...

Urban heat stress poses a major risk to public health. Case studies of individual cities suggest that heat exposure, like other environmental stressors, may be unequally distributed across income groups. There is little evidence, however, as to whet

southern California drew relatively few of the immigrant groups from eastern and southern Europe that populated the cities of the easternUnited States. With the start of theMexican Revolutionin 1910 and the subsequent influx of Mexican agricultural workers in California, the nonwhite population began to...
Importantly for communities that lack access to cooling interventions like air-conditioning in residential buildings, the impact of the urban heat island effect on nighttime temperatures can have significant implications on public health. Urban heat islands effectively weaken nocturnal radiative cooling when...
Recent projections expect that Vietnam will be affected most severely by climate change with higher temperatures, more precipitation and rising sea levels. Especially increased temperatures will worsen the situations in cities, amplifying the urban heat
