Preliminary heat maps are provided as non-decisional informational resources. The maps depict the maximum intensity of heat exposure, identified as the “hottest hour” for a geographic location between 2010 and 2020. To learn more about the "hottest hour" calculation or the i-Tree Cool Air temperature model, see the About page.
