And as temperatures continue to rise.
And Kristen and I have been telling you about that for weeks.
Now, across the country, people in big cities might be feeling it more than others.
A study released yesterday from a
nonprofit group called Climate Central analyzed 44
major US cities and found that most cities experience a heat island effect.
That's when city centers absorb more heat than surrounding areas.
It's due in part to the replacement of
natural vegetation with different infrastructure like pavement,
which of course absorbs more heat.
People who live in urban areas can feel
temperatures up to eight degrees warmer than others.
The city with the highest urban heat index per capita.
Not surprising here, Kristen where we are in New York followed by San Francisco,
Chicago and Miami.
Just thinking here in New York, the subway also has, you know, the heat comes up,
it always does every day even in the winter.
So imagine today in the city, it's going to be 95 degrees,
it's going to feel like 102 because of the pavement and of course,
the subway heat rising
