Abstract

The urban heat island (UHI) is defined as the temperature difference between the urban and suburban areas and rural areas in the same region.Researchers have discussed several different techniques for evaluating the phenomenon.This paper reviews some of the causes and effects of urban heat islands, mainly on urban climate.Both directly and indirectly, the UHI influences multiple sectors.According to this, it is needed to develop a strategic mitigation between government and scientists to reduce the temperature.
