In bustling cities like Riyadh, Dammam, and Jeddah, rising daytime temperatures don’t always drop significantly at night, creating an “urban heat island” effect. This phenomenon, where cities retain heat well after sunset, can disrupt comfort and even health for residents. Addressing nighttime heat retention is essential for improving urban life quality, and temperature mapping is a valuable tool for this purpose. By accurately tracking areas that hold the most heat at night, urban planners and city officials can implement solutions that create cooler and more livable environments.

How Temperature Mapping Can Cool Cities After Dark

1. Identifying Nighttime Hot Spots: Temperature mapping shows exactly where cities retain the most heat during nighttime hours, often in areas dominated by concrete and asphalt or with fewer green spaces. Identifying these “hot spots” allows cities to direct resources and strategies to the places that need the most cooling.
2. Guiding Green Space Placement: Urban planners can use temperature mapping to decide where to place new parks, trees, and water features to provide cooling effects. Vegetation naturally cools its surroundings by creating shade and releasing moisture into the air. Introducing trees in heat-prone areas can help lower nighttime temperatures, making outdoor spaces more pleasant for residents.
3. Optimizing Building Materials and Layouts: Temperature mapping insights can also guide building design. Choosing materials that retain less heat or constructing shaded areas around buildings helps minimize heat absorption during the day. At night, these choices reduce retained heat, contributing to lower temperatures across neighborhoods.
4. Implementing Reflective and Cool Roofing: Using reflective materials for roads and buildings in areas identified as hot zones can significantly reduce the amount of heat retained. Reflective surfaces absorb less heat during the day and therefore release less warmth at night, directly tackling the urban heat island effect.
5. Improving Public Health and Safety: Temperature mapping helps cities anticipate nighttime hot spots, allowing them to allocate resources like cooling centers and hydration stations in the right areas. This proactive approach is especially beneficial during heatwaves, protecting the health of residents by providing cool refuges where needed.
