Table 5 UHI intensity index
UHI (ËšC) | Degree | Note |
|---|---|---|
< 0 | Very low | Location with extremely low temperatures, demonstrating that there is no difference in LST between urban and rural areas |
0–0.1 | Low | Low temperature region, suggesting there is little difference in LST between urban and rural areas |
0.1–0.2 | Medium | Area with a moderate temperature, indicating a moderate LST variation between urban and rural areas |
0.2–0.3 | High | High temperature zone reflecting a significant LST gap between urban and rural locations |
> 0.3 | Very high | Extremely high temperatures, which show that there is a significant LST variation between urban and rural regions |
