Wondering why we reported higher temperatures than your weather app? 🥵

It all comes down to what’s being measured.

Satellites like Copernicus Sentinel-3 measure land surface temperature — that’s the heat coming directly from the ground, not the air above it. And yes, it’s often hotter in the summer than what your app tells you.

  1. ESA's higher temperature reports reflect the reality of much hotter land surfaces compared to the air above them. This approach provides more detailed and actionable information for climate science, agriculture, environmental planning, and disaster prevention. Thank you ESA for valuable information.

  2. This is why we need much more greenery in the cities. We have too much concrete, asphalt, pavements, stones everywhere. All this gets insanely hot during summer days, and affects cities. Its not the only aspect, but one of the bigger ones.
