Uhi result type (Heat Overlay)

Urban Heat Island result type overlay (Wageningen)

Icon	Result type	Unit	Mode	Description
	UHI	°C	Date-Time	The calculated urban heat island effect.

An urban heat island is an area which is warmer than surrounding areas due to human activity, specifically urbanized environments which retain and radiate heat.

Notes

• The calculated values which compose the urban heat island are not directly the actual temperature for a given location. Instead, they are an intermediate factor in the calculation of the physiological equivalent temperature.
