This summer, NOAA & citizen scientists will map the hottest parts of 18 communities across the U.S. & in 1 international city. Learn how this project will reduce the health impacts of extreme heat: HeatGov NOAAClimate ClimateReadyNation CitSci
— areas with few trees and more pavement that absorbs heat — can be up to 20 degrees fahrenheit hotter than nearby neighborhoods with more trees, grass and less black asphalt.
“The burden of heat is not shared equally in our urban areas,” said NOAA Administrator Rick Spinrad. “Gathering this type of environmental intelligence helps communities measure their hottest places so they can develop strategies to reduce the dangerous effects of heat. Community by community, we’re working to create a Climate-Ready Nation that is resilient in a changing world.”
NOAA will work with citizen scientists to map urban heat islands in multiple cities and counties in 14 states this summer and in one international city, Santiago, Chile. Since 2017, NOAA and its science partner, CAPA Strategies, have worked with more than 70 communities to create heat island maps that can be used to inform cooling strategies.
