City Climate Monitoring - Urban Heat Maps

The alarming increase in heat-related deaths highlights the urgent need to address the complex issue of land use, particularly as urban areas continue to grow and more individuals relocate from rural regions to cities on a daily basis. Heat waves represent one of the most significant natural hazards, with a particular need to protect vulnerable groups from heat stress.

Meteoblue's Urban Heat Maps provide hyperlocal forecasts tailored to city environments, equipping both residents and town planners with the tools to assess the impact of climate change adaptation measures, such as targeted green space introduction in urban areas.

Heat maps illustrate how minor alterations can have a significant impact. 

Meteoblue and a number of cities employ a range of Decentlab devices for city climate monitoring and urban heat stress assessment, including the DL-BLG, DL-ATM22, DL-SMTP, DL-SHT35, and others.
