Break up the concrete! ⚒️ 🌳
Dallas is way too hot. The city says less pavement could help cool it down
"[Impervious surfaces] absorb 95% of the solar energy that hits them, raising the temperature around them. The goal is to encourage developers to incorporate more green space and trees, which cools things down on the ground."

> ... keeping a home steady at 75F requires about 30% more power when outside temperatures creep from 95F to 98F... many residents can’t afford higher energy bills. Sharp rises in energy demand stress electrical grids: in 2021, a heatwave in the Pacific north-west triggered rolling blackouts.. at least 600 deaths... urban heat islands, where asphalt traps more heat...

It's amazing to me that a city that is in a once forested area can be so bare of trees. And developers are the problem...
"Seattle already ranks fifth in the nation for urban heat islands, posing serious health risks. The city’s 2021 tree canopy study also highlighted the unequal distribution of trees and the effects of that pattern, with people living in deforested neighborhoods like South Park and Beacon Hill experiencing shorter life spans and poorer health. While Seattle’s new Tree Canopy Equity and Resilience Plan aims to plant new trees in underserved areas, saplings on public land cannot compensate for the loss of hundreds of large, shade-providing residential trees during increasingly hot summers.

#Heatwave is here. Event is a bit less intense over srn BC. The peak thicknesses are over #Washington and #Oregon where low to mid 40s C are forecast. #urbanheatislands will be several degrees hotter.
These events are partly fuelled by moisture. In this case, remnant tropical cyclone vorticity anoms are pumping up the ridge and latent heat adding fuel. #atmosphericriver #bcstorm #heatdome

"Nine cities have over one million people living in #UrbanHeatIslands, totaling 40 million people across the U.S.
Brady said she was surprised that these extra hot areas were dispersed across the cities.
“I was expecting that there was a big concentration of urban heat islands in the city cores, but in most cities, there’s a fairly sustained urban heat island index throughout the city and even around the city’s boundaries,” said Brady."
