Exploring the spatial response of regional heat islands to natural-social factors: A study of extreme heat and normal weather

Key Points

• Heat islands were significantly influenced by both social factors and climate variability, particularly during extreme heat.
• The study found temperature fluctuations to be more pronounced in urbanized areas, with up to 5 degrees higher in peak periods.
• Observational analysis focusing on regional climate patterns and urban geography provided critical insights.
• Understanding these dynamics can help in planning interventions for climate resilience and public health.
