+25°C …It’s The Exploding Global Urbanisation, Stupid! Why Heat Waves Are Setting Records

Global artificial impervious surface area is as large as Spain, Germany and France combined … adding up to 25°C to surface temperatures  The intensity of the recent heat waves has...

No, Climate Central, Summer Warming Isn’t Due to Climate Change

The Urban Heat Island is a primary factor in urban warming trends, not the footnote that Climate Central treats it as. Before attributing summer warming in 221 cities to human foss...

Record Temperatures & UHI

If anybody is in any doubt about the unsuitability of Kew as a climatological station, a few years ago the BBC/Met Office laughably tried to present Heathrow as a reliable site, be...

Beating the Heat: How Vertical Greenery Cools Urban Spaces

In the increasingly urbanized world, the phenomenon known as the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect has become a pressing environmental and social issue. Urban centers, characterized b...

New Welsh Temperature Record at Bute Park

The WMO states that Class 5 sites can overestimate temperatures by as much as 5C. The WMO are perfectly clear that junk sites like Bute Park should not be used for climatological p...

Lichens and Bryophytes Reveal the Effects of Urban Heat

Lichens and mosses may act as living sensors of urban warming, helping researchers understand how rising city temperatures alter biodiversity at the smallest scales.

Hot town, summer in the city

My point here is that many factors are at play in what one sees during any given weather event, let alone across the entire climate. If you believe that CO2 is the cause-of-all-evi...

Measuring the Cooling Effect from Your Design Model 

Summer puts urban heat islands on full display. The same spaces that work well in spring become hostile in July. Pavements, benches, facades, and street furniture absorb heat throu...

Lousy Station Siting: Swirling Controversy Surrorunds Germany’s Latest “New Alltime Record High” Temperature

Full of shite! Germany’s Saarbrücken alltime record high temperature measurement was recoded at a station located at a sewage treatment facility in the middle of a commercial distr...

Data centers can raise temperatures, energy burdens in nearby neighborhoods: ASU study

Each one-degree increase in temperature will drive a higher use of air conditioning, which in turn will put more heat into the area, creating “a feedback loop,” researchers conclud...

Data centers raise temperatures up to 4 degrees in nearby neighborhoods: study

Use of a stronger vertical fan to push thermal plumes higher or not having parapets surround condenser arrays are two ways to mitigate the impact, a researcher says.

India's urban boom turns its cities into heat traps

Sunny Springs Linked to Warmer Weather

The daily max is strongly correlated, but there is also a weaker correlation with daily mins. There is no evidence, in other words, that clearer skies result in colder nights durin...

Doing The Opposite: Studies Show Gigantic Wind Farms Significantly Warm The Night

Proponents of the energy transition often ignore or conceal the negative local climate impacts of wind turbines. Report24 references a 2012 study published in Nature Climate Change...

No evidence of urban-rural climate change divide - study

New research into attitudes about climate change show there is no evidence of an urban-rural divide, but that the concerns felt in one setting are often underestimated by those in...

Data Centers Can Make Neighborhoods Up to 4 Degrees Hotter, Study Finds

Researchers studying data center impacts in Phoenix, Arizona, found that they can raise nearby air temperatures by up to 4 degrees Fahrenheit (2 degrees Celsius).

Mitigating Climate Change One White Roof at a Time

In colder climates, white roofs can increase heat demand and potentially contribute to global warming by reflecting light into the atmosphere. The post Mitigating Climate Change On...

AI data centers are making cities warmer. Researchers calculated the exact impact

Scientists have been sounding the alarm on just how bad AI and data centers are for the environment. And now, researchers have proof that data centers are also making nearby neighb...

In a World of Constant Heatwaves, Heatproofing is Urgently Needed to Ensure Inequality Does not Expand

Get your hands dirty in the field; only then will you see the true value of work and how to put theories into practice. Such advice is often freely dispensed to newcomers in many d...

Heat adds to strains on areas with data centers, raising temperature on AI debates

Eileen Castle’s swimming pool, one of the only ones for blocks around, was once a refuge for neighborhood children on hot summer days. But even as temperatures soared this week,...
