What stands out

What we found in Melgar de Tera

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

2,7 °C

Around homes with less than 2 % tree cover, the surface in summer is 0,8 °C above the median for Melgar de Tera; with between 10 and 20 % tree cover, 1,9 °C below. 65 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.

What can be done

For the town council and for residents

For the town council and its technical staff

  • Review with the river basin authority the watercourses with no official mapping that run next to homes, and keep them clear.
  • Download the tables by area, neighbourhood, street and watercourse (Data tab) to cross-check them with urban planning.

For residents

  • If you live on a ground floor or have a garage next to a watercourse, have a plan: where to go upstairs, what to switch off and how to hear about warnings.
  • Look up your building: the free report gives its level for each hazard, and the Climate Note gives the full detail.
