Animation: Surface temperatures for the greater Cologne area and inner city
Average midday surface temperatures in the summer months of June, July and August from 2013 to 2024 for the greater Cologne area and the inner city. The image shows how surface temperatures differ in built-up and non-built-up areas. Surface temperature and air temperature do not correspond exactly, but they are directly related and their spatial patterns are similar. Heat islands can therefore be clearly identified based on surface temperature.
