H3AT (Houston’s Heat Action Team)

Description

Urban areas are especially prone to warmer temperatures compared to nearby rural areas due to having a larger concentration of heat absorbing surfaces (buildings, roads), limited vegetation (such as trees), and heat-producing factors like car use, building energy use and industrial activity.
