The temperature measurements will start in early July, and last through the summer.
The temperature maps will include the entire city, but the project team will focus on collecting public input and making improvements in East Austin, where residents encounter hot spots more frequently.
Austin is known for its hot summers, but heat isn’t felt the same way across the city, UT Austin explained in a press release. Residents living in more shaded, tree-covered areas are experiencing heat differently than others who live near more pavement and roadways, for example.
