Heatwave forecast
The ongoing climate change leads to heat accumulation, especially in cities. Therefore, cities are more exposed to climate change than the surrounding rural areas. This leads to an increasing number of tropical nights and heat days in cities. Heat waves will increase in frequency and duration in the future, leading to an unknown increase in economic damage, and will endanger the health and lives of the cities' populations.
The meteoblue heat maps can be produced for any city or town in the world, and to visualise the urban heat island in simple maps, tables, and raw data. They provide a heatwave forecast for the next 7 days.
Based on satellite images, measurements, and modelled air temperature data in the city and surrounding areas, so-called “heat maps” are calculated. They have the horizontal resolution of 10 x 10 m and are used to detect and visualise the urban heat island effect. The heat maps can therefore be used as an urban planning tool for site-specific adaptation measures, with the aim of reducing the urban heat island effect. The reduction of the urban heat island effect by adaptation measures (de-sealing of surfaces, greening, watering and more) can only be implemented in a cost-effective way if the heat accumulation of site-specific locations is known. Therefore, heat maps serve as a decision-making aid for urban planners in their strategies to reduce the urban heat island effect.
