The Urban Heat Island Effect refers to the phenomenon where urban areas experience higher temperatures than their rural surroundings. This temperature difference is primarily due to human activities, such as the extensive use of concrete, asphalt, and buildings that absorb and retain heat. Additionally, reduced vegetation in cities limits natural cooling processes, contributing to warmer conditions. As a result of the Urban Heat Island Effect, cities can be several degrees warmer, especially during the summer months. This increased heat can lead to higher energy consumption for cooling, elevated air pollution levels, and adverse health effects for residents, particularly vulnerable populations.
