The urban heat island and thermal heat stress correlate with climate dynamics and energy budget variations in multiple urban environments
Rising temperatures that occur in cities resulted in the urban heat island (UHI) which could
also amplify the thermal heat stress, leading to climate-related human mortality. Our study …
