Urban Heat Island Evening Heat Index [Minnesota--Hennepin County]
Description
This dataset contains a modeled dataset showing heat index on the evening (7-8pm CST) of July 27, 2024. This dataset is based off the Urban Heat Island Evening Traverse point dataset. Dataset was created by CAPA Strategies to support the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Urban Heat Island Mapping Campaign. *Heat index is an approximation of the heat felt when the presence of humidity is felt in combination with temperature. For this project, the heat index was calculated by combining the temperature with the corresponding relative humidity measurement using the same equations as advised by the National Weather Service (CAPA Strategies, 9/2024)
