Hot extremes are among the most damaging climate extremes to human society, with urban
areas being particularly vulnerable due to the surface urban heat island (SUHI). Despite the …

Local climate of the city is modulated by not only land surface properties and climate
background but also urban morphology. While the modulations of the former two have been …

Given the increasing severity of the surface urban heat island (SUHI) phenomenon, urban
residents face heightened heat stress. Consequently, mitigating the effects of SUHI becomes …

Urban heat exposures have increased considerably in cities around the globe due to rapid
urbanization and the changing climate. This study explores the spatiotemporal variations in …

The urban heat island (UHI) effect exerts a great influence on the Earth's environment and

Observing the rapid urban expansions and numerous infrastructure developments in the
East-Asian context, many cities are suffering the urban heat island (UHI) effect and its …

Deepening the understanding of diurnal characteristics and driving mechanisms of surface
urban heat islands (SUHIs) across different local climate zones (LCZs) and time scales is of …

The urban heat island (UHI) effect is anticipated to be intensified and cause severe damage
to human society under future urbanization and climate change. Due to the complicated …

Extreme heat exposure at the regional scale is warranted for special attention due to the
changing global climate yet notable regional disparities in the effect of warming. NASA's …

The urban built-up environment, consisting of buildings, roads, and various facilities, plays a
crucial role in forming surface urban heat islands (SUHI). This study aims to address this …
