☀️ Preparing cities for extreme heat: At #ICUC12, @b-kode.bsky.social unveiled a way to build future weather scenarios—beyond historic averages—combining CMIP6, ERA5-Land & urban microclimate models. Plan for extremes, not averages. Follow @eu-minorityreport.bsky.social #ClimateResilience #ICUC12

🌡️ Crowdsourced data strengthening CARMINE

A new study led by Jonas Kittner shows how 5 years of Netatmo data for Paris & Berlin reveal how urban heat advection – heat moving downwind from city cores – can raise nighttime temps in nearby neighbourhoods by ~2 K. #UrbanClimate #SDG13 #ClimateAction

🚀 U-Surf is here! The first #global, 1 km dataset of #urban #surface properties—capturing rooftops, roads & more for #cities #worldwide, built for urban-resolving Earth system and climate models to better simulate heat, energy, & pollution.

Great to see this new version of the Atlas being available, now also featuring #urbanclimate data for selected #cities.

Proud that B-Kode's @matthiasdemuzere.bsky.social could contribute via #CORDEX #URBRCC & EU #Horizon #CARMINE (carmine-project.eu)

One year in, and what a ride it’s been with the #UrbanHeat team at #WorldBank | #GFDRR! 🎂

Last week, I got to celebrate my first work anniversary during our staff retreat—brainstorming ways to help #cities beat the #heat & reduce #health, #economic, and #infrastructure #risks.

Thanks crew! 🍰☀️
