-
Why is mapping heat in our region important? You'll learn about how different neighborhoods vary in terms of heat across the region, and why.
-
On a designated “Campaign Day”, you’ll collect thousands of temperature and humidity measurements over 3 one-hour periods. (target date: August 1st)
-
Your contribution will reveal the distribution of heat across our region, helping our city to target heat relief resources to neighborhoods that need it the most.
You can be in our HeatWatch campaign as a:
Bicyclist
Driver
Navigator

This will allow the tracker to be stable outside while the person drives.
