Mapping Urban Heat Risks

[David Kertai]

Researchers at the U.S. National Science Foundation National Center for Atmospheric Research have created HUMID-Atlanta, a dataset tracking urban heat conditions. It combines temperature, humidity, and urban infrastructure information across Atlanta from 2010 to 2023. By showing how heat varies across Atlanta, the dataset could help public officials identify vulnerable communities and plan interventions to reduce heat-related health risks.
