Having trouble sleeping at night?
We know why: it's too hot!

These maps created with data from @NASAJPL's ECOSTRESS on the @Space_Station show land-surface temperature of several cities in the evening or night-time on different dates in July 2023.

Urban heat islands occur when natural land cover - such as vegetation - is replaced with buildings, roads, pavements and other surfaces that absorb and re-emit more of the Sun’s heat. ☀️

Urban areas become ‘islands’ of higher temperatures compared to outlying rural areas.

Land-surface temperature data is important to understand and monitor urban heat islands and to plan mitigation strategies to reduce the effects of this phenomenon.

For this, @esa's upcoming LSTM mission will provide land-surface temperatures at higher resolution.

The @IPCC_CH has identified tipping points of climate change, critical thresholds that, if exceeded, can lead to irreversible consequences.

From melting ice to ecosystem shifts, understanding these triggers is crucial for a sustainable future.

Many new temperature records in France's late-summer heatwave.
eg Carcassone: 43.2°C (41.9°C in 2003)
Lezignan-Corbieres: 42.9°C (42.2°C in 2003)

Also many new night-time highs
Extreme heat continues today, with red alerts for 17 departments, says @meteofrance.
