High air temperatures are almost always worse in urban areas due to the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. Cities trap and magnify heat, making urban environments significantly hotter “heat islands” than surrounding rural areas. This effect is particularly noticeable at night. Dr. Joseph Alton explains what the Heat Index means, and how to prevent hyperthermia. *Here is an article on How To Treat Hyperthermia: https://www.doomandbloom.net/man-its-hot-part-2-heat-stroke-heat-exhaustion/
