What stands out

What we found in Almendra

It comes from matching each building with its neighbourhood, its street, the nearest watercourse and its surroundings.

1

Where there are fewer trees, 2,3 °C hotter

2,3 °C

Around homes with less than 2 % tree cover, the surface in summer is 1,5 °C above the median for Almendra; with between 10 and 20 % tree cover, 0,8 °C below. 35 homes are in surroundings with almost no trees.

Ground surface temperature (Landsat), not air temperature. More trees usually go with less asphalt and lower density: this is a correlation, not a measure of the effect of planting trees.
