Cities heat up more than the countryside, and it’s not just because there aren’t enough trees around. A mix of factors comes together to create what’s known as the Urban Heat Island effect. In the graphic below, we’ve mapped out what’s turning up the #heat and what’s helping to cool things down.

TRIGGER @trigger-project.bsky.social · 17/04/2025

⛰️Altitude With increasing altitude ,less atmosphere is available to absorb UV radiation. With every 1000 m in altitude, UV levels increase by approximately 10 per cent. ❄️Surface reflection Fresh snow is a particularly good reflector and almost doubles a person's UV exposure.
